Author: Kate Bowler
Narrator: Kate Bowler

Witty, honest, and wise spiritual reflections that invite listeners to embrace the bad, not just the good-from the three-time New York Times bestselling author. Kate Bowler believes that the cultural pressure to be cheerful and optimistic at all times has taken a toll on our faith. But what if we could find better language than forced positivity to express our hopes and our anxieties? Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day! is packed with bite-size reflections and action-oriented steps to help you get through the day, be it good, bad, or totally mediocre. This is a devotional for the rest of us-which is to say, the people who don’t have magical lives that always work out for the best. As she composed these meditations during a season of chronic pain, Bowler understands how every day can be an obstacle course. She encourages us to develop our capacity to feel the breadth of our experiences. The better we are at identifying our highs and lows, the more resilient we become. If you want to build your daily habit of spiritual attentiveness, this book is here to say: May all your days be lovely.

Der TV-Star gewährt tiefe Einblicke in seine langjährige Erkrankung und reflektiert gewohnt humorvoll und selbstkritisch, was die Süchte eines Mannes befeuert hat, dem es an nichts zu mangeln schien. Unerschrocken ehrlich, zutiefst bewegend und urkomisch.
