Traveling Mercies
by Anne Lamott
Lamott's essays on faith found sideways: addiction, motherhood, church, grief, grace. Funny, profane, honest, and the book that made her a spiritual writer.
Read it if…

Skip it if…
you want reverence; she swears.
Try instead: Hallelujah Anyway →
Three things you will actually use
- Faith comes in through the side door.
- Grace meets you where you are.
- Laugh at yourself.
Do this first
Read 'Overture: Lily Pads'.
Our verdict
Faith, sideways.
