Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day! is a collection of witty, honest, and wise spiritual reflections that invite readers to embrace the bad, not just the good—from the three-time New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason (And Other Lies I’ve Loved). 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.
Kate Bowler is the bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason, No Cure for Being Human, Good Enough, The Lives We Actually Have, Blessed, and The Preacher’s Wife and hosts the popular podcast Everything Happens. A Duke University professor, she earned a master’s of religion from Yale Divinity School and a PhD at Duke University.
Field Notes the Wilderness is a nurturing and hopeful collection of practices to help an emerging generation of Christians reconnect to their faith, find inner healing, and build spiritual community—from Glennon Doyle’s “favorite faith writer” and the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus Feminist and editor of A Rhythm of Prayer. In this groundbreaking and nurturing book, Bessey becomes a shepherd for our curiosity, giving us a table for our questions, tools to cultivate what we crave, and a blessing for what was—even as we leave it behind.
Sarah Bessey is the author or editor of five books. She also leads Evolving Faith, a conference and online community for people who are reimagining their faith with hope. Bessey lives in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, with her husband and their four children
