Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith - Anne Lamott
Though her faith is evangelical, Anne is not for everyone. In this book, she recounts her participation in an assisted suicide, her past abortions and resolute commitment to pro-abortion rights for women, her intentional single-parenting of her son, and her hatred of all things George W. Bush. For some Christians, these things are enough to discount Anne and her faith. But for this Christian, I find Anne's reflections to be refreshing, inspiring, and yes, sometimes very frustrating. But at least they are real! Throughout her book, whether you agree or disgree with her, you can't help but love her spirit, sincerity, authenticity, and single-minded passion to love and follow Jesus as best as she knows how at the moment.
