"Anne Lamott is walking proof that a person can be both reverent and irreverent in the same lifetime. Sometimes even in the same breath." —San Francisco Chronicle

Lamott claims the two best prayers she knows are: "Help me, help me, help me" and "Thank you, thank you, thank you." She has a friend whose morning prayer each day is "Whatever," and whose evening prayer is "Oh, well." Anne thinks of Jesus as "Casper the friendly savior" and describes God as "one crafty mother."
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, "My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers."]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5846https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C5846Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5846980EBOOKSome Thoughts on Faithenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780375409172/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1336176https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1336176Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1336176126BKA Novelenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594487514/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc= From the New York Times bestselling author of Hallelujah Anyway, Almost Everything, and Bird by Bird, a powerful and redemptive novel of love and family
Rosie Ferguson is seventeen and ready to enjoy the summer before her senior year of high school. She's intelligent-she aced AP physics; athletic-a former state-ranked tennis doubles champion; and beautiful. She is, in short, everything her mother, Elizabeth, hoped she could be. The family's move to Landsdale, with stepfather James in tow, hadn't been as bumpy as Elizabeth feared.
But as the school year draws to a close, there are disturbing signs that the life Rosie claims to be leading is a sham, and that Elizabeth's hopes for her daughter to remain immune from the pull of the darker impulses of drugs and alcohol are dashed. Slowly and against their will, Elizabeth and James are forced to confront the fact that Rosie has been lying to them-and that her deceptions will have profound consequences.
This is Anne Lamott's most honest and heartrending novel yet, exploring our human quest for connection and salvation as it reveals the traps that can befall all of us.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C309227https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C309227Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/309227980EBOOKenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101186343/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2038269https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2038269Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2038269126BKNotes on Hopeenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525537441/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1492713https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1492713Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1492713126BKThe Three Essential Prayersenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594631290/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=From Anne Lamott, the New York Times-bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow, comes the book we need from her now: How to bring hope back into our lives

"I am stockpiling antibiotics for the Apocalypse, even as I await the blossoming of paperwhites on the windowsill in the kitchen," Anne Lamott admits at the beginning of Almost Everything. Despair and uncertainty surround us: in the news, in our families, and in ourselves. But even when life is at its bleakest—when we are, as she puts it, "doomed, stunned, exhausted, and over-caffeinated"—the seeds of rejuvenation are at hand. "All truth is paradox," Lamott writes, "and this turns out to be a reason for hope. If you arrive at a place in life that is miserable, it will change." That is the time when we must pledge not to give up but "to do what Wendell Berry wrote: 'Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.'"
In this profound and funny book, Lamott calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined. Divided into short chapters that explore life's essential truths, Almost Everything pinpoints these moments of insight as it shines an encouraging light forward.
Candid and caring, insightful and sometimes hilarious, Almost Everything is the book we need and that only Anne Lamott can write.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3878136https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C3878136Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3878136980EBOOKNotes on Hopeenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780525537571/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2569206https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2569206Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2569206126BKThoughts on Loveenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593714416/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2038401https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C2038401Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2038401126LPRINTNotes on Hopeenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984827609/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1577874https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1577874Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1577874126EBOOKThe Three Essential Prayersenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101607732/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1619732https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1619732Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1619732126BKSpotting Improbable Moments of Graceenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594486296/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1657979https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1657979Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1657979126LPRINTSpotting Improbable Moments of Graceenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781410473462/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=The New York Times bestseller from the author of Help, Thanks, Wow, Hallelujah Anyway, Almost Everything, and Dusk, Night, Dawn. Lamott's long-awaited collection of new and selected essays on hope, joy, and grace.
Anne Lamott writes about faith, family, and community in essays that are both wise and irreverent. It’s an approach that has become her trademark. Now in Small Victories, Lamott offers a new message of hope that celebrates the triumph of light over the darkness in our lives. Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change us—our perceptions, our perspectives, and our lives. Lamott writes of forgiveness, restoration, and transformation, how we can turn toward love even in the most hopeless situations, how we find the joy in getting lost and our amazement in finally being found.
Profound and hilarious, honest and unexpected, the stories in Small Victories are proof that the human spirit is irrepressible.]]>https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1766910https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C1766910Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1766910980EBOOKSpotting Improbable Moments of Graceenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780698189744/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1555545https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1555545Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1555545126BKA Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repairenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594632587/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1139880https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1139880Wed, 31 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1139880126BKThoughts on Faithenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594489426/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1022712https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1022712Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1022712126BKFurther Thoughts on Faithenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781573222990/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1834376https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1834376Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1834376126BKRediscovering Mercyenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780735213586/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1573420https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1573420Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1573420126EBOOKA Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repairenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780698147850/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1733209https://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S126C1733209Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMThttps://chipublib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1733209126LPRINTA Handbook on Meaning, Hope, and Repairenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781410463661/MC.GIF&client=chicagoplb&type=xw12&oclc=
