Anne Lamott is a real "grace" to her readers. Without being preachy or particularly religious, she is one of our most popular (read well-read) current spiritual authors(IMHO). In addition to commenting on the big questions, she is an excellent observer of our post-modern dilemna. The first of her works that I read, TRAVELING MERCIES: SOME THOUGHTS ON FAITH, was like a breath of spring, a drink of cool water to the thirsty, and GRACE (EVENTUALLY) is a wonderful second read of her works. She may offend some with her use of language with the odd "F bomb" here and there, but to dismiss her or put down the book because of these possible offenses to your sensibilities is the readers loss. For those whose feet are searching for a spiritual walk, Ann Lamott describes hers, the good, the bad and the ugly and she appears to have traveled from darkness to light. I find her work much more readable, and applicable to me, than Bishop Spong or other current spiritual authors. I am sending copies to my children and have numerous copies out to friends, on loan. She is topical, reflective and an excellent writer, again, IMHO. I recommend GRACE (EVENTUALLY), without reservation to all readers. Paul Frye (swpaulie) pilgrimpaul@yahoo.comRead full review
Grace (Eventually) by Anne Lamott is true poetic, yet candid artistry in motion, something we would expect from Anne Lamott. Her trademark witt and humor comprised with grace and poetry is in its truest form in her latest release. If you loved her writings in the style of Traveling Mercies, you will definitely love this one. it is truer to her best than "Plan B:Further Thoughts on Faith" was. While I enjoyed "Plan B," it didn't jump at me like "Traveling Mercies" did, and I was surprised and very excited to that "Grace(Eventually)" continued in the vein of her first book on Faith. She brings grace and candor to her Christian walk. Her testimony is one that even the most staunch atheist would be intrigued by.
Insightful book with inspiring quotes. The author uplifts your spirits with her faith. Will pass on to my family to enjoy.
Anne draws you in with her real life stories and you find you can't put this book down. You will enjoy the roller coaster of emotions that Anne experiences and you'll be glad you're along for the ride!
She is magnificent, The perfect blend of spirituality and humor. poignant
