Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Combining elements of spiritual study and memoir, the author of Bird by Bird and Crooked Little Heart describes her odyssey of faith, drawing on her own sometimes troubled past to explore the many ways in which faith sustains and guides one's daily life.
Review:
"Hilarious and genuinely moving, it is her best book yet."
Caitlin Flanagan, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review, 02/07/1999
Review:"[T]hese reflections on faith range from the touching to the vaguely embarrassing....Much of Lamott's writing is delightful, but TRAVELING MERCIES contains earthly intimacies that aren't just spiritually inconsequential, they're pedestrian."
Margot Mifflin, Entertainment Weekly, 03/12/1999

Travelling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780385496094) Lamott, Anne;Lamott, Ann Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Bantam Doubleday Dell Publishing Group Inc, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Anchor Books ed. 201 x 131 mm. Brand New Book. Anne Lamott claims the two best prayers she knows are: quot;Help me, help me, help mequot; and quot;Thank you, thank you, thank you.quot; She has a friend whose morning prayer each day is quot;Whatever,quot; and whose evening prayer is quot;Oh, well.quot; Anne thinks of Jesus as quot;Casper the friendly saviorquot; and describes God as quot;one crafty mother.quot; Despite--or because of--her irreverence, faith is a natural subject for Anne Lamott. Since Operating Instructions and Bird by Bird, her fans have been waiting for her to write the book that explained how she came to the big-hearted, grateful, generous faith that she so often alluded to in her two earlier nonfiction books. The people in Anne Lamott's real life are like beloved characters in a favorite series for her readers--her friend Pammy, her son, Sam, and the many funny and wise folks who attend her church are all familiar. And Traveling Mercies is a welcome return to those lives, as well as an introduction to new companions Lamott treats with the same candor, insight, and tenderness. Lamott's faith isn't about easy answers, which is part of what endears her to believers as well as nonbelievers. Against all odds, she came to believe in God and then, even more miraculously, in herself. As she puts it, quot;My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers.quot; At once tough, personal, affectionate, wise, and very funny, Traveling Mercies tells in exuberant detail how Anne Lamott learned to shine the light of faith on the darkest part of ordinary life, exposing surprising pockets of meaning and hope.
