Not for the rigidly "appropriate"....
Anne Lamott is, well, many of us. Theology just always comes down to "How did you treat the least of these?" If you feel it's inappropriate to admit nastiness, mind clutter, personal hypocrisies.....(sin!) and still call yourself a Christian, then you shouldn't even try to read this book. If you're certain, totally certain, about anything, you may be put off by Anne Lamott. If you're sure that none of us left-wingers might sashay through Heaven's pearly gates, you might not have room for Anne's irreverence, or her calling out contradictions between her faith and the current political climate. For me, Plan B calls me to be, and to acknowledge, what I am: a sinner redeemed by the inexpressible Love of God, Himself. Alternately grateful and indignant, full of praise or uncertainty, loving and accepting or consumingly selfish, in the end I know "whose" I am. I'm grateful to Anne Lamott for bringing Christ-ness into the bright, examining light of daily life; you might come to remember that that is where Christ hangs out.
