another to add to your reading list.

i just finished reading Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott. Lamott is the daughter of Kenneth Lamott who was a liberal writer in the 1960’s. This is a collection of essays of a sort about her life and her perspectives on faith and living it out in a real and culturally aware context. she takes the “christianese” stigma and throws it out the window in stories that relish in awkwardness. in three nails style she is “walking proof that one can be both reverent and irreverant in the same lifetime. Sometimes even in the same breath.” there are bits and pieces throughout i don’t always agree with, but other stuff she’s dead on. it’s definitely worth reading. maybe this is something that could be added to the library as well.
