Traveling Mercies – Some Thoughts On Faith

Anne Lamott is essential reading. Schizoid, insecure, funny, earthy — compelling. A master storyteller. Riveting spiritual insights derived from the raw soul that has learned it the real way… through the complexities of life. Consider some of the dfollowing to whet your appetite:

“I do not at all understand the mystery of grace — only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.” p. 143

“I understand just enough about life to understand that I do not understand much of anything.” p. 75.

‘Not forgiving is like drinking rat posion and then waiting for the rat to die.” p. 134.

I needed to read this book. Now, I’m going to read another of Anne’s works.
