Chapter 1And So Began My Life of Doubt My Baptist father married my Catholic mother in 1955. Ecumenism hadn’t been invented yet, so both families were horrified, each certain the other family would roast in hell. Over his parents’ objections, my father signed a document promising to raise my siblings and me in the Catholic Church. I was baptized before my father changed his mind; water was sprinkled on me, words were said over me, and I was saved, just like that, a member of the One True Church, destined for heaven, along with my family, except my father, which is why I cried when the priest sprinkled me with water, sensing even then my dad was screwed.The nuns urged me to pray for my father, in the hope he would see the error of his way, dispense with heresy, and embrace the true faith of St. Peter, the first pope and Jesus’s best friend. I ran the idea past my father, who seemed curiously uninterested in joining the One True Church. Since there was only so much I could do, I handed the problem over to God and let him worry about it.1The One True Church swarmed with children, roomfuls of kids of all ages. Families with eight, nine, and ten kids. Families so large the parents stopped naming their children and assigned them numbers. Church services were held every morning, and twice on Saturdays and Sundays, to accommodate everyone. A dozen people would cram in a pew that comfortably seated six. Kids stacked two and three deep. In terms of sheer numbers, we beat every church in town. Two nuns ran the show. Fifty kids jammed in a room learning the Catechism, the nuns circling us, rendering us mute with fear.This was back in the days when nuns wore habits, before they got sneaky and went undercover, dressing like the rest of us to blend in and catch us sinning. It now seems ironic that the priests and nuns populating my childhood wore black and white. I’m not sure which ancient cleric picked the colors, but I wonder now if it were intentional, even sacramental, an outward sign of an inward reality. Black and white. True and false. Good and evil. Heaven and hell. In or out. No in between. No shades of gray. No dash of color. No nuance. No straying from the reservation. So my father was out, as were the billions of people not fortunate enough to be Catholic.It wasn’t just the Catholics with the lock on heaven. The Protestants were also sending one another to hell in record numbers. I would later become a Quaker, one of the most peaceable denominations in the history of Christianity, and even some of them cheerfully sentenced certain people to hell. But when one’s own father is condemned to hell, it’s hard to think well of the institution sending him there. Not only hard to think well of the institution but hard to take it seriously when it spoke about God and Jesus and love. I wanted to believe in Jesus, in God, in the One True Church, but the One True Church made that nearly impossible.I was eight years old, maybe nine, and a nun, I can’t remember her name, told me if I hated God, I would die.“How soon?” I asked.I was a stickler for details.“God will strike you down that very moment,” she said.So that night I put her to the test, under my blankets, whispering, “I hate God, I hate God, I hate God.” Three times, one for each person of the Trinity.I whispered because I shared a bedroom with my brother David and didn’t want him to hear me and tell our parents, who would most certainly have done something, even if God didn’t. Besides, if God knew our every thought, as I had been taught, then God could certainly hear my whispers. Or not, because I wasn’t struck down that very moment, which left me to conclude that either God didn’t strike down people who hated him or God couldn’t know our every thought, which meant the nun was full of beans.And so began my life of doubt.My words seem evil now, when I see them in black and white, like something the bratty girl in The Exorcist might say, and I’m surprised my head didn’t spin 360 degrees and I didn’t vomit green goop. Instead, I went to sleep and woke up the next morning blessedly alive.Maybe God knew I didn’t mean it, that I was testing the nun, so in a moment of grace, as is God’s habit, elected not to smite me. And I didn’t mean it. Given my inexperience, I neither loved nor hated God. Mostly, God mystified me. Did he live up in the clouds or inside me? Did I disgust him or please him? Did God love everyone, or love some and hate others? Was God a capitalist or a communist? A Republican or a Democrat? A Catholic or a Protestant? A him or a her? And the biggest question of all--did God even exist?Yes, God existed, my parents said, and was a Republican, my father assured me. And a Catholic, my mother said. And a male, our priest, Father McLaughlin, said. Though I no longer trusted the nun, I was hoping God was a Catholic and looking down from heaven every Sunday morning to see me kneeling at St. Mary’s Queen of Peace Catholic Church and thinking well of me. I had since confessed to hating God to our priest, who took it in stride, and told me to say three Hail Marys and two Our Fathers and I would be forgiven, which I did, to be on the safe side.The safe side defined my early spirituality. After testing God once and surviving the encounter, I decided not to push my luck, so I went through first communion and became an altar boy, waking up early on Saturday mornings to serve the Mass, hoping God noticed that, too. It was an era of détente. I no longer tested God, and in exchange, God didn’t strike me dead. If Richard Nixon could strike a deal with China, I figured I could strike one with God.God apparently loved deals. If I belonged to the One True Church and went to Mass every Sunday, I’d go to heaven when I died. Or so the nuns told me. Then after the deal was inked, I read the fine print. No eating meat on Fridays, no skipping confession on Saturday night, no attending the Baptist church with my sister, who had jumped the Catholic ship, hooked up with the Baptists, and was headed straight to hell. The nun had mentioned none of this when I joined. I had been hoodwinked, taken for a ride, falling for the oldest trick in the book, one hand moving the walnut shells, the other hand hiding the pea.“What if I ever leave the One True Church?” I asked the nun.“When you die, you will spend eternity apart from God, in eternal torment,” she said.“How do you know?”“Because I’m a nun,” she said.Then she warned Father McLaughlin I bore watching and he caught me alone in the altar boy room and told me I had disappointed God.“How do you know?” I asked.“Because I’m a priest,” he said.This was back in the days when religious authorities were widely admired and generally believed, so I prayed every Sunday for God to forgive me and vowed to walk the straight and narrow and become a priest when I was older so I, too, could scare small children and get them right with God. I told no one except Father McLaughlin, one Sunday morning while preparing for Mass, who seemed elated with the notion but failed to mention I wouldn’t be able to marry and would have to sit alone in my house each night trying not to think of girls, which I was just then starting to do.I decided to talk it over with the nun.“What happens if I become a priest, then fall in love and leave the Church to get married?”“When you die, you will spend eternity apart from God, in eternal torment,” she said.The Church was nothing if not consistent.But I wondered how they knew these things. How could they speak with such certainty? Certainty seemed the highest value of every religious person I knew. Their church had the Truth, capital T, and no one else. Joe, my best friend in the fourth grade, was a Jehovah’s Witness and just as certain his church was the One True Church. He gave me pamphlets to read at recess, urging me toward Jehovah, who apparently was opposed to birthdays, Christmas, and Halloween, which I took as a sign I shouldn’t join.But what if the Jehovah’s Witnesses were right, and the Catholic Church was wrong? What if the Baptists were right? Or the half dozen folks who had started up a new church, meeting every Sunday morning in a dinky house on the main street in our town? What if out of all the churches in the world, those half dozen people had nailed it on the head and were the One True Church, the culmination of God’s great plan to save the world? I went to school with one of them, so buddied up to her on the off chance the world ended and I could ride her coattails into heaven. Then the next year the pastor went crazy, the church disbanded, and a lawyer bought the house and set out his shingle.To the best of my knowledge, there were no lawyers at St. Mary’s Queen of Peace, the lawyers in our town having money and the Catholics tending not to. We were the church of labor. One did not join the Catholic Church to get ahead in the community. We had ceded that territory to the Methodists and Episcopalians, both of whom worshipped in new buildings. We met in a flat-roofed building on Main Street next to Pleas Lilly’s Citgo gas station. It appeared we had run out of money while building the church so stopped after one story. It wasn’t the kind of structure to inspire meditation and high thoughts. The windows were painted shut, it didn’t have air-conditioning, and in the summertime we dropped like flies, fainting from the heat, our heads thumping the pews like watermelons.What we Catholics did have going for us was longevity, which we believed to be an indication of God’s favor. We were the first church, instituted by Jesus, the Bride of Christ, launched by St. Peter, the first pope. What we lacked in building, we made up for in pedigree. The Episcopalians, the Methodists, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the half dozen people who met on Sundays in the dinky house, were newcomers, pretenders to the throne. We believed our institutional durability was an indication not of skilled management, historical accident, or strategic political alliances but of God’s seal of approval.I didn’t wonder about it then, but I wonder now why it is that God’s favor seems always to be indicated by the one quality we possess in spades. Let a church endure, and it must surely be an indication of its chosenness. Let a church be large and wealthy, and it must surely be an indication of God’s favor. Let a church be small and poor, and it must be surely be an indication of God’s preference for the underdog.Why this tendency to single out our one defining trait and claim it as proof of God’s favor?While we’re thinking about that, let’s think also about the spiritual implications of our claims to divine favor. The moment we believe God is uniquely for us, we simultaneously imply God isn’t for others. The moment we claim to be the One True Church, we claim the other churches are not true, that their encounters with God, and their collective life with Jesus, is less than ours.Joe and I would argue about this on the playground, staking out our territory. I, a member of the One True Church; he, a member of Jehovah’s true community, each of us lowering himself to be with the other. By then, I was serving as an altar boy several times a week and was Father McLaughlin’s go-to guy. Joe was basking in the glow of his recent baptism, working the playground for converts, aiming to be one of Jehovah’s 144,000 elect. Though we were friends, it eventually became clear one of us would have to throw in the towel and join the other. When that didn’t happen, we drifted apart.Our separation was the nearly inevitable consequence of the exclusive beliefs we had been taught. In our efforts to draw near to God, we learned to mistrust others. When my Baptist father married my Catholic mother, his uncle wrote to warn him the pope would take their children. He urged my father not to proceed with the wedding, that it wouldn’t last. We had a good laugh over that at my parents’ fiftieth anniversary dinner.I once went to visit an elderly member of my Quaker meeting. He hadn’t been active in our meeting since my arrival as its pastor, but I had visited him several times and had enjoyed our time together. Though I introduced myself, he mistook me for someone else. He was nearly deaf and could barely see. I was able, after much shouting, to make him understand I brought greetings from our Quaker meeting.“Did you hear what they’ve gone and done?” he asked.“What who has gone and done?” I asked.“Our Quaker meeting. They’ve gone and hired a Catholic.”I realized he was referring to me.“The Catholics sent him to turn us into a Catholic church,” he said.I didn’t correct the man. He was well past ninety-five and starting to experience dementia. And he had been kind to me in the past, so I simply changed the subject and enjoyed our time together. But on the way home, I imagined the pope, surrounded by his cardinals, pointing to a map of central Indiana, saying, “I want that little Quaker meeting. Is Gulley still with us? Send him.”Yes, I was a sleeper agent for the Catholic Church, worming my way into the Religious Society of Friends at the age of sixteen, slowly gaining their trust until I was encouraged to become a pastor, then enrolling in college and graduate school, becoming recorded as a Quaker minister, pastoring one Quaker meeting after another, building my credentials, until I would be invited to pastor a meeting outside Indianapolis in order to lead its 120 souls into the waiting bosom of the Roman Catholic Church.2 1 When I was a kid, God was a him. By the time I went to college and seminary to study theology, God was a him and a her. Someday we’ll create a pronoun just for God that will please everyone.2 Quaker ministers aren’t ordained, since ordination implies the church has the power to grant (or ordain) the gifts of ministry. Instead, we record, or acknowledge, that God has already given someone the gifts for ministry and in recording or acknowledging those gifts, we invite the person to use them.

If you've ever said, "Wait, What?" to toxic God-talk. This book is for you.If you have ever been asked to sign on to absurd or outdated thinking because, "God said it."Give this a read. If your kids wonder if God and science can coexist in their lives, then you need thisbook. What Philip Gulley has to say in UNLEARNING GOD might give inspiration to new faith andthought that allows critical thinking and the use of both your head and your heart. Using down to earth language and examples, Gulley clears away what detracts from compassion and involvement in this world. I hope to give this book to people jaded by the harsh and hateful, the absurd and outdated. Give UNLEARNING GOD a read, it may be good for what ails you.

The author has a flare for examining the profound with practical wisdom and humor. I read through his account of his personal faith journey in about 3 sittings. He helps us understand how his faith matured from learned dogma to a more challenging and more fulfilling life of faith and practice. He introduces us to the people and everyday events that compelled this journey. It is profound theology without a lot of abstract, scholarly language and footnotes.

As a Religious Liberal I thoroughly enjoyed Gulley's previous books, especially The Evolution of Faith and also If Grace is True. I was greatly looking forward to this new book, but was somewhat disappointed by the author's humorous approach to his religious journey which my Conservative neighbors may take as mockery. Gulley always ends each chapter by making a great Liberal religious point, but I would advise a first time reader to start with his earlier works.

Phil Gulley is a master of adding humor to a topic which so often is taken with much seriousness. His upbringing in the Catholic Church (the one true church) lends credence to the many questions he had growing up. He then poses these questions in a way that makes the beliefs seem juvenile. You will find yourself laughing out loud at some of his stories. We have read all of his writings and find this to be one of his best. If you have ever had questions about Christianity and some of the teachings ... then you WILL find this book interesting, humorous, and enlightening. Question to Mr. Gulley: When is the next Harmony Series book coming out? Please don't make us wait very much longer!!

I found this book to be full of insights into religious beliefs and practices. Didn’t agree with everything, but he confronts much we hold dear.

Open your mind to what God is or can be and you'll experience what Mr. Gulley describes. You may not agree with what is said in this book, but there are Truths that are revealed in all things.

Very thought provoking book. A very easy, comfortable read on a serious subject.

Easy to read, often amusing. Nothing new.

*Original review on Goodreads & My Blog*I can't even begin to explain how much I love these books and characters ❤️Drizzt & Guenhwyvar ♥My wonderful Wulfgar ❤️The sharp tongued and awesome Bruenor Battleaxe ❤️The lovely and bad to the bone Cattie-Brie ❤️I love Regis too. 😊These friends do everything for each other, even die if they have to and I never want to see that day come 😫The ending was so sweet. Wulfgar and Cattie-Brie. Bruenor ruling over his home again. And we shall see with Drittz, he's never sits long and he has his own thoughts and worries of the world. And Guenhwyvar is by his side once again ❤️I want to leave it with a funny little excerpt. Bruenor and Cattie-Brie are riding a fiery chariot through the sky to quickly get to their friends and help.EXCERPT* The silver dragon rolled over onto its back lazily, riding the morning winds with its legs-all four- crossed over it and its sleepy eyes half closed. The good dragon loved its morning glide, leaving the bustle of the world far below and catching the sun's untainted rays above the cloud level But the dragon's marvelous orbs popped open wide when it saw the fiery streak rushing at it from the east. Thinking the flames to be the forerunning fires of an evil red dragon, the silver swooped around into a high cloud and poised to ambush the thing. But the fury left the dragon's eyes when it recognized the strange craft, a fiery chariot, with just the helm of the driver, a one-horned contraption, sticking above the front of the carriage and a young human woman standing behind, her auburn locks flying back over her shoulders. Its huge mouth agape, the silver dragon watched as the chariot sped past. Few things piqued the curiosity of this ancient creature, who had lived so very many years, but it seriously considered following this unlikely scene. A cool breeze wafted in then and washed all other thoughts from the silver dragon's mind. "Peoples," it muttered, rolling again onto its back and shaking its head in disbelief.END EXCERPT*Happy Reading!Mel ❤️

Long ago and faraway when I was reading fiction full time with lots of SF and Fantasy I read one of the Drizzet "Forgotten Realms" series as an impulse buy off the bookstore shelf. I liked it but did not follow up, maybe I got confused on the series numerology or whatever. Now in 2019, reading almost all non-fiction, and like many people under pressure from day to day BS I have found this a relaxing diversion. You have to be impressed with the world building and Drizzet is an excellent traditional hero with a strong moral code which as a parent now I appreciate versus the slasher/psycho genre. That being said this particular book I did not feel was the strongest but I have decided I am in for the long haul even if it means paying full pop for the Kindle edition. I do not need another bookshelf full of an SF series paperbacks. cares about.

These books rely on the same tropes ever and over again. How many fake deaths can a reader take? How many flashing scimitars or people looking on in awe of Drizzt's fighting ability can someone read about before getting bored? The love is too pure, the hate too vile, and the good too virtuous. Every character in these books is an archetype that rarely deviates or acts with real human emotion. Other than that, the story is alright, and for D&D fans, it's fun watching the rules come to life in a narrative.

I bought this book to replace a soft copy to complete my collection of all 33 volumes. Salvadore's books are great. I especially like Drizzt's musings. The huge detailed story line interwoven with other parts of Faerun including stories, maps, etc. also make for a fun read.

The story takes off immediately where the last book ended and in truth the story feels more like the second half of of what was in truth one book. In any case there is a great deal of humor, thrilling action, friendship, and inner struggle.

Unlike so many the story of Drizzt never grows stale for me. In this book you see what friendship really means to Drizzt and the others. You get to watch a love grow between cattibrie and Wulfgar and the masses love between Drizzt and cattibrie. Read as they put it all on the line to save a friend. Will the make there in time to save Regis and will Drizzt be able to face his mirrored reflection the assassin he might of been. Then read on and lose your self in this fantastic continuation of the story of Drizzt Do'Urden.

I know it's much more than a trilogy, but in my mind I still see it that way, and The Halfling's Gem ties up this batch of stories perfectly. It's a thrill ride through new sights, sounds and emotions that carries readers across valuable life lessons in loyalty, discrimination, honor and even mercy. The characters are developed so completely they quickly become lifelong friends. It's great for anyone 11yrs and up due to the types of violence, magic and ethics.

Book 1 of the Legend of Drizzt series, Homeland, was a hard read at first with the long complicate names but once I got past that I really liked it and decided to keep reading. I've now read 25+ books from RA Salvatore and would recommend all Legend of Drizzt, Hunters Blade, Transitions, and Neverwinter books as great fantasy reads. Salvatore has such great character development and interesting new adventures that make you want to keep reading. There is a fair amount of fighting, if you're not into that I'd still recommend these books, just read through those parts fast.

My 3-yr-old's preschool has been doing a lot of 3 little pigs activities the past couple of weeks so I thought this might be fun. My daughter tends to be very easy to frighten and very against anything scary (and so we've never done the whole some animals eat other animals life lesson), so after reading the other reviews, I pre-read it and figured out how to skip over the pigs getting eaten bits (there are no scary pictures). BUT, my husband let me sleep in and read the book to her first, and he didn't edit it. And she loved it! :) It's really a very cute book, and at least wasn't too scary or mean for my little tender heart.

I've always loved this version of "The Three Little Pigs," as told by the Wolf. The narrating wolf (who you're free to not believe) claims to have been a victim of a bad cold and some very rude swine. It's a clever and funny approach with wonderfully unique artwork.The one word of caution for parents who are sensitive about this sort thing: this is working of the classic version of the story, meaning that the first two pigs are in fact killed and eaten. They don't escape to their brother's house and it's made clear that they're killed ("dead as a doornail" is the exact wording, which always tickled me.) Now I personally don't feel this is anything traumatic but it's worth being aware of for parents.

I remember reading this book as a child and I forgot about its existence, until Amazon recommended the book to me. It definitely brought back a wave of nostalgia and I love it as much as I did as a kid. It's dark and some may find it offensive (I grew up with Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark for reference), but I personally don't believe that it needs to be edited when read to children.

I have always loved this story as a kid and was so ecstatic when I saw this on here. I bought it immediately and read it to my three year old the night I received it.The book is in great condition, it's almost as if I bought it directly from a book fair. the pages are all there and no tears or damage to them either.

An old story told from a different perspective. I liked it when my kids were younger and hope the grandkids will, too. I also purchased 2 other versions of the 3 Little Pigs so they can have fun comparing and deciding which tale is the most truthful [or most fun].

Who doesn't love The True Story Of The 3 Little Pigs. I bought this book 30 years ago (man I'm old) to read to my son's 2nd grade class. Now 30 years later I bought a copy for my grand kids. They love it! Wonderfully funny story that makes you feel a little sorry for the wolf. Great buy!

My sister turned me on to the book when she was in college working on her education degree. The first time I read the book I thought, what a great story. I purchased the book when nephews, nieces, and Godchildren came into my life. I always get "will you read that one more time". I do. I know children generally say "one more time". But, when the visit they always ask if I will read the story about the real story of the threel little pigs. I think the book is life at it's best. We all see things differently and it is all in the wording and agenda(slow news day so they pick on the poor ole wolf)of others. I purchased the book to give to my Uncle so he could read it to his grandson. When I was little he gave me a Uncle Remus book and he would read over and over...I have never forgot the book or the times I know I rushed him to sit down and read to me. There is nothing on this earth more precious than memories. Amazing the small things we remember and the love related to those memories.Terrye

Love the book! I am a teacher and I am always looking for books to read to my students (Middle School). It is great to hear another point of view.

From Booklist

Inspiriting, trenchant, and funny, best-selling Lamott takes an imaginative do-it-yourself approach to spirituality in her disarming and stirring essays. Unabashedly emotional yet practical and sharply attuned to the absurdities and tragedies of life, she focuses on prayer in this mighty little volume, defining it as “communication from the heart to that which surpasses understanding.” If you are uncomfortable addressing God, Lamott suggests praying to “the Good.” The point is to make contact with “the Real, with Truth, with the Light.” To take a moment to focus and breathe. She cites three basic themes. Asking for help, she writes, “is the first great prayer.” Giving thanks is essential, and not only when things are going well. One also benefits from summoning gratitude for hard truths and tough challenges. “Wow” is the joyful expression of wonder in response to astonishing moments great and small. With a stand-up comic’s snap and pop, candid and righteous Lamott tells hilarious and wrenching tales about various predicaments that have sparked her prayers and inspired her to encourage others to pray anytime, anywhere, and any way. --Donna Seaman

Review

“[A] prayer manual for people who wouldn't be caught dead reading prayer manuals... anybody who gets it as a holiday gift will likely just say, 'Thanks. Wow.'” —Publishers Weekly “A refreshingly simple approach to spiritual practice in a pint-sized reflection on prayer... Lamott manages to deftly convey the idea that in trying to control things, we've largely lost our ability to see the good and the miraculous in everyday life... there's more here than meets the eye.” —Kirkus Reviews“Charmingly irreverent.” —MORE Magazine “Filled with Lamott's unique brand of humor, wisdom and profound spiritual insight... She has a gift for putting into words what it means to accept and ultimately embrace the beauty, mystery, and pain that is life.” —San Antonio Express-News “Practical and poetic advice on prayer.” —The Oregonian “An imaginative do-it-yourself approach to spirituality...With a stand-up comic's snap and pop, candid and righteous Lamott tells hilarious and wrenching tales about various predicaments that have sparked her prayers and inspired her to encourage others to pray anytime, anywhere, and any way.” —Booklist

Bestselling author Anne Lamott chronicles an inspirational story about the power of faith as she defines the true, symbolic meaning of prayer in her world, and the rewarding results to more bright days of sunshine, and happiness. The author conveys how to get us through each day, while facing the challenges and ups-and-downs that life throws upon us, how the power of prayer can get us through the dark days of our lives, and the significance of appreciating the 'little things' in life that we are usually too busy to even notice. This refreshing, motivating book is a guiding light to spiritual practice as it uplifts, and tugs at the heart, page-after-page. Insightful, enjoyable, beautifully written, and Highly Recommended!

Over the last several years I've gone through some very difficult times in my life. But about two years ago I "found" Anne Lamott and her writings through my wife, who has been a fan for forever. I have to say, reading Anne is like therapy for me. Her writing is so honest and thought-provoking. And that Anne Lamott sense of humor is priceless! There's no doubt that Anne Lamott and her books have helped me turn a corner in my life. "Help, Thanks, Wow" is no exception. It's prayer and spirituality simplified, and it works for anyone; even those who aren't truly religious. You don't have to pray to *God*. You can pray to "the force that is beyond our comprehension."I also love the fact that Anne stresses the importance of gratitude. In fact, this may be my favorite passage from the book:"Gratitude begins in our hearts and then dovetails into behavior. It almost always makes you willing to be of service, which is where the joy resides. It means that you are willing to stop being such a jerk. When you are aware of all that has been given to you, in your lifetime and the past few days, it is hard not to be humbled, and pleased to give back."Thank you, Anne Lamott. My life is better because of you.

*****What a brilliant book! When I first received "Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers" I too was so disappointed that it was such a small book--tiny, short, maybe an hour's read. Ah, but what an hour! Precious. And to be completely truthful, this book actually took me several hours to read, because I had to put it down, think, cry, laugh, and even--yes--pray. This book is worth your time and attention. I am so glad that I have it in hardback because I will keep it forever and reread it regularly; I am finished reading it and I just want to read it all over again.It is a book about getting through life. It is rich, raw, funny (hilarious, like all Annie Lamott) and written in language so stunning I would have to stop and just read and reread sentences. I feel as though my life has been broken open with a whole new attitude towards prayer, and even more, towards being alive. This is not a religious book at all, but a book for anyone who is spiritually-oriented and maybe especially for those who aren't, because the author writes about prayer in a way that every single person can relate to. This is a book about being real and true and simple and clear and about living a worthwhile life.Don't miss this book.Highly recommended.*****

Anne's book is on our Summer Series reading list at church. So at the last minute, I ordered the Kindle version and began reading Saturday night. The sermon was Sunday morning. For me this book is life changing. Today was my first day utilizing a template inspired from Anne for prayer. I typed my prayer into three categories: Help, Thanks, Wow. Talk about great prayer focus. I can print my prayers and assemble my prayer journal.Some of us are better composing prayer at the keyboard and quite frankly, I believe God doesn't care what method you use to communicate with Him as long as we are in regular communication with Him, that is His hope.

Anne Lamott is one of my favorite authors. My favorites of her books are "Traveling Mercies", and "bird by bird". Anne sticks to the writing style of a mini essay for each chapter and it works well for her. Each new book begins where the last left off. Not in the sense of a sequel but as it follows where Anne is in her life at that particular time and what is the important topic on her mind.Lamott's latest book "Help, Thanks, Wow", is a good book. It has the short chapters and the rambling conversation that I expect from her books. The topic is one that grabbed me at first. I thought, here is a book that is going to simplify prayer and perhaps I will find comfort in it. Perhaps my expectations were too high as I felt that my questions were never answered. I had hoped for a footprint to follow, something more definitive.I still feel that it is a good book and worth taking a look at. However, if you're not familiar with Anne Lamott then this may not be the best of her books to start with.Sorrowfully, in the end I was left unfulfilled and a little bored.

This book was a little disappointing. Granted it did have some good moments through the book but I had a hard time finding a way to connect them together to make sense of of the book. Seemed be more random thoughts than a book.. For a "spiritual"book it has some words that I do not find appropriate. The sad part is the words don't add anything to the book I felt like the writer needed something to jar her readers awake.
