If you don't love Anne Lamott it's probably because you have never read a book by her.

This book is about the "love mercy" part of Micah 6:8 -- What does God require of you? Do justic, love mercy, and walk humbly.

As Anne says: ok doing justice is following the rules, walking humbly is never going to happen ("my humbleness can kick your humbleness in the ass!"), but what does "loving mercy" even mean? Part memoir, part retelling bible stories in her notoriously irreverent voice, Lamott puzzles out what being merciful looks like and means in our humdrum lives.

Loved this. Want to buy it. Will read it again.
