If you have never read anything by Anne Lamott, (she describes herself as "a left-wing, born-again Christian with a bad attitude...If Jesus does not have a sense of humor, I am so doomed that none of this matters anyway"), you are missing a refreshing and unique voice in Christian literature. It doesn't matter whether you believe or not; her sense of humor and irreverent take on faith will make you think.
Many Christian bookstores will not carry her books, which is what made me first look at her book GRACE (EVENTUALLY). I wanted to know why an American, born-again Christian author who writes on life and faith would be banned from bookstores catering to the Christian faithful.
After reading her book GRACE (EVENTUALLY), I decided that Christian bookstores preferred their customers to be coddled rather than challenged. It also explains a lot about my lack of respect for the modern, conservative, evangelical Christian movement in this country.
