Title: the kind of theology Jesus would write
Review: I was taking a break last Saturday from my own work as a writer about the Bible, and found this book on the shelf. Once in my hand, my work was done for the day and evening until the last page was turned. Anne Lamont accomplishes that most rarely done task: helping people to find God amidst the most ordinary struggles of daily life. In other words, she's the kind of "theologian" Jesus was. Each story is a parable in which the reader cannot help but ask, "was God present here? If so, what does this say about my own ways of seeking or finding the divine in daily life?"And one of the best things about the book is that she shows that you can be a "born again Christian" and actually live a Christian life, opposed to war, injustice, poverty and oppression; and in solidarity with the outcasts, the sick and the dying. Three alleluias for Anne Lamott and this glorious testimony of faith!
