Official synopsis Publisher
In this book, Wayne Oates defines luck as a secular faith, examining the ways in which the idea of our experiences being based on luck dominates much of our thinking about how and why our lives develop as they do. According to Oates, this secular “faith in luck” is unhealthy and should be countered with faith in God.
