![]() Or again, if God hates all the same people you hate then you can be confident that you have created him in your own image. ![]() Being kind is probably more important than being right. ![]() In her telling, all these prosaic events unfold with genuine insights about our fragile, fallen human condition and the tender mercies of God that attend to us if we would only slow down, breath deeply, open our eyes, see them, and receive them. And, yes, she still sports dreadlocks and loves to sprinkle profanities throughout her narrative. She started a Sunday school class for kids at her church. She hates the Bush administration, loves Barbara Lee, and marched in peace protests. Forgiving mom looms large, as did finally gathering the family to spread her ashes after hiding them in her closet for a couple years. ![]() Her son Sam is a teenager now, she has a new boyfriend, she still loves her integrated Presbyterian church in Marin County, California, and still works hard to accept her dysfunctional family of origin and the neuroses she inherited from them. If you enjoyed her Traveling Mercies (1999), Plan B serves up more of her irreverent, painfully honest, explicitly Christian, and humorous reflections on following Jesus at fifty. Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith (New York: Penguin, 2005), 320pp.Īny new book by Anne Lamott is a welcome occasion, and this one was no exception. ![]()
