Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott is not your average book on spirituality. Her essays can take you all over the place. Whether it is discussing the pettiness we can bring into our lives, or how to grow older more gracefully, she brings a lightness of touch and a faith that is strong. It doesn't matter if you are not into organized religion, she tests us by showing us the frailness that is humanity. And how most people are decent and trying to bring good to their lives and their loved ones. Is she perfect? No. And she would be the first to admit it.
Are her essays thought provoking? Yes. And funny and sad. Sometimes both in the same piece. They are about worldly issues and the deeply personal. And how we all struggle in this world. Lamott's style is unique. Try her - you will like her. And then you will have read her other works. I promise. A very good read.
