Critic reviews

"Anne Lamott is...a swearing spiritual pundit who prays for redemption but brags about her offenses. Lamott's latest tell-all is Grace (Eventually): Thoughts of Faith, a searching memoir full of...offbeat spiritual humor. What makes Lamott's writing powerful isn't her unconventional faith. Rather, it's the profound message about God's grace and redemption often lurking underneath all the...brutal honesty." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"Lamott's self-deprecating stories are refreshingly frank and endearingly fun." (Washington Post)

Pollyanna in every way.

I found the authors voice annoying and her book ridiculous. He r Pollyanna view of the word is churlish and annoying. Too much politics and not enough insight. I did chuckle a couple of time but cannot recommend this book to anyone seeking enlightenment or guidance.

Loved Some of This

I'm a Huge Lamott fan. I flat out loved some of this and was just neutral on other parts. But I'm still a big fan.

Highly recommend!

I love this book. Anne is so real. She's made mistakes, she doesn't try to hide. She talks about life just as it is, without masking anything. Most of the stories made me laugh till I cried! She is not preachy - she just presents it as she sees it. Since it is read by her also, I think it helps deliver the book in the tone that it was intended. By the time I finished hearing the book I felt like I had a new best friend! Thanks Anne!!!!

Great personal stories

I struggled to really get into this book. These are great personal stories told by the story teller herself. I found her to be very dry/monotone.

Excellent Writing

LaMott is one of the most skillful writers I’ve ever read. That makes her uplifting and very human stories so memorable.

entire book slams non-liberals, dwells on politics

I love AL's writing to no end, and tho I don't agree with many of her political stances, I have enjoyed many of her other books. This one, however, is particularly heavy into politics and controversial issues (esp justifying her abortions and involvement in euthanasia and her hatred of political figures). She takes angry, strong left approaches in a way that is not quite merciful or graceful, but rather, is resentful/demeaning to other views. I was disappointed in the hypocrisy of this book
