Book Reviews of Traveling Mercies : Some Thoughts on Faith

What shines through in this book is a honest, real person who loves herself and others despite major flaws and imperfections.

Interesting book of Lamott's journey to Christianity and why it attracted her.

What an excellent book! Anne Lamott's faith journey takes the most unexpected twists and turns and in spite of it all she believes...and she includes all of her early life that defines who she is as an adult. I love her sense of humor and want to read more books by this lady.

Love, love, love this book! In fact, I may have to read it again just for the "laugh out loud" passages. Lamott strips her soul absolutely bare and tells it all in a way that makes you want her for your best friend. I'd share a pew with her anyday.

thought provoking, funny, and inspiring

Reading this book made me an Anne Lamott fan for life. I've read her other, more recent books, and keep a copy of Traveling Mercies handy (still my favorite) for when I'm feeling low and need a lift. Her stories bring sympathy and humor.

This is a funny, well-written, and sometimes heart wrenching group of essays about the glimpses of grace the author has seen throughout her tumultuous life.

This is a great book for anyone looking for faith but dosen't want to get hung up in dogma and judgement.

Anne Lamott is brilliantly vulnerable and uproariously funny in this collection of personal essays/memoirs on faith and her belief in God.

Great book--- brings faith to a level everyone can understand and embrace!

thought-provoking

An irreverant look at the authors journey through faith.

Funny, honest and illuminating.

Annie Lamott at her best. This is Lamott's quirky chronical of her own trip of faith and spirituality. She IS a Christian, and she doesn't take herself too seriously.

I really enjoyed this book. Annie Lamott's writing style is raw, honest and straightforward.

One of Lamott's best.

She's a little too liberal in some things for me, but in general this is a thought-provoking, sometimes even comforting book.

I read and enjoyed this book many years ago.

This book is very meaningful. I first read Anne Lamott's advice on writing, and that led me to her writing on parenthood and faith. She is smart, unconventional and thought-provoking--exactly what I want in a memoir.

Really enjoyed!
