A compassionate, intelligent, and wry series of Christian daily reflections on learning to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, from the New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason In Kate Bowler's first book, Everything Happens for a Reason, readers witnessed the ways she, as a divinity school professor and young mother, reckoned with a Stage IV cancer diagnosis; in her second book, No Cure for Being Human, she discovered the ways life becomes beautiful and hard when we abandon certainty and the illusion of control in our lives. Now, in her first-ever devotional book, Kate Bowler offers 40ish short spiritual reflections on how we can make sense of life not as a pursuit of endless progress, but as a chronic condition. This book is a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you're not living your best life now. Written gently and with humor, Good Enough is a permission slip for all those who need to hear
