If you want to Think and Laugh read this book.

I really enjoyed this book because it made me think. It was also a book that made me laugh. Sometimes both things happened at the same time.

Like it was written in my soul...

Lamott does it again!

Deeply spiritual, deeply honest, and incredibly funny, Anne Lamott once again presents a collection of 'thoughts on faith' that is so much more. What Lamott calls thoughts are really heart-deep reflections and ponderings from everything from the mundane to the most sacred, from the stuff of parenting and pet-rearing and travel, to the realms of politics, church life, spiritual disciplines, and the ongoing journey into maturity. Whether she's learning to love her mother, her president, or her own thighs, Lamott never takes herself too seriously, and never lets her audience escape from the honesty of her lens. Whether this book challenges you or resonates in your spirit, it is not one that can be easily dismissed.

Such a Comfort--Written In Almost Perfect Prose

This is the book for the days when you know DEEPLY in your heart of hearts that you aren't worth a "tinker's damn". You know you are old, wicked, taking too much delight in other's misery, can't stand any member of your beloved family ONE MORE MINUTE or any other human being. You hate your job and know the angels weep over the disappointment you are to God. Annie helps you see, through writing that is timeless and utterly superb, that yes, you are that person, but you are so much more and even more important, known to be that wretched human and still loved and forgiven by God. This may not be the book for the person facing a life crisis but may be a better choice for someone who is just tired. This book, some excellent slippers and a hot chocolate WITH whipped cream and sprinkles could encourage those individuals whomped one too many time by life to carry on.

Anne Lamott is tops!

Refreshing, honest, and a lyric writer, Anne Lamott is a wonderful discovery. These three books, "Traveling Mercies," "Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith", and "Grace (Eventually) Thoughts On Faith" are the best books I've read all year! I don't think it matters if you are Christian or not, because her books are about her journey from alcoholism and drug addiction, to a discovery of a God of unconditional Love that speaks to everyone.

Wonderful, exhilarating stories and writing!

Wonderful examination of Faith and Life

Equisitely written magazine articles brought together in one book. Questions of Faith and Race and other big issues are dealt with with incredible honesty and truth. I love the way she writes. If you devour it too quickly, it can feel a bit samey, but if you read it slowly, take a break between chapters, it is indeed a soul refreshing draught of water. I got it from the library and immediately went out and bought a copy. That's how much a keeper it is. :)
