Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Grace
Anne Lamott · 2008
78/100
👍 Worth It
Lamott at her best is funny, brutally honest, and spiritually disarming all at once, and this collection delivers that mix in generous portions. The essays roam wide — sobriety, political fury, death, junk food — and the thread holding them together is a genuinely hard-won theology of grace for imperfect people. Conservative readers will bristle at the language and politics, but anyone who has found Lamott's previous books meaningful will feel right at home here.
