Book Synopsis

Sometimes the world knocks us flat on our butt.

We feel stretched further than we ever thought physically, emotionally, or spiritually possible. And though we are torn up inside, we feel like we need to keep our chin up andput a good face on things. So we pretend that everything is fine, even though it's not.

Even in the hardest times, strength from God rises from deep in our soul to keep us going. In this honest, inspirational, and humorous book, Katie Schnack goes deep into the hard stuff of life with no sugar coating or toxic positivity to find sustenance she could not imagine. Faced with a child's medical challenges in the midst of a global pandemic, having strength to get up in the morning and actuallyenjoy the day was so unlikely that she knew it had to come from God. Schnack's plucky authenticity shows us how when life is complicated, self-compassion and humor can bring healing and life.

Everything Is (Not) Fine looks at the hardrealities of life, but also gently reminds us of the good. Even in dark times, we can get glimpses of light.

Review Quotes

"Counterintuitively, it's the lack of clear-cut solutions that lends this guide its appeal--Schnack's honest rendering of faith challenges will help readers feel less alone, and her sense of humor adds welcome moments of levity."

Publishers Weekly, June 2023

"If you love chatting with a good friend over Starbies (or Pinot), this book is for you. Katie makes you laugh and cry, and she throws no filter over the real of life's challenges. She tells her story in her way while reminding us that we're not alone in this crazy beautiful world. 'Difficult seasons come, but they also go.' Exactly what I needed to hear!"
