5.0 out of 5 stars
A VERY good read!, 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I am writing beacuse I fear that the recent negative comments will dissuade others from reaping the joy that is possible from reading this book. Her chapter on forgiveness had me laughing and crying; it alone is worth the price of the book - were it legal, I would copy that chapter for my family and friends. Instead, I am ordering them all copies of this treasure. This is my first book by Lamott and I look forward to reading more. For all who are taking part in their spiritual journey...

I said a prayer for my son today, and got an answer back, 1 July 1999
By A Customer
Well, I'm a huge fan of Lamott, having read almost all she's written, but this one really got me.And as odd as it may sound to some of you, several times since I have finished this work I've needed some extra help from the wo/man upstairs. Take today for instance, I got involved with my 9-year-old's relationship with someone else, messed things up, and said a little prayer, asking for some help or inspiration. I got it........Not that dreams always come true by a long shot, but I thank Anne for reminding me of that awesome higher power who's willing to help out a mom in 100 degree heat, in the car, with 2 whiny kids, and provide her with a helpful answer. I loved this book, I love this author, and I only hope and pray that I can sustain the strong belief that she has in God above. God bless you and your child, Ms. Lamott

Lamott; the fragrance., 3 Feb 1999
By A Customer
If only Anne Lamott could be bottled and sprayed onto the pulse points every day, then one could walk around and know for certain what Truth smells like. Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith is simply stunning. It's laugh-out-loud funny, profound in a down-to-earth-BLT-with-mayo sort of way and it's required reading for anyone who has a hunch there might be some sort of "glue' that holds everything in the universe together. The opposite of pastel, sun-drenched "religious" text, Traveling Mercies is an invigorating, refreshing chronicle of Ms. Lamott's own spiritual journey; and what a wonderful thing it is to be in the passenger seat beside her for the ride. Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Mormon, atheist, etc., it doesn't matter. This book is as universal as water and just pure, assuming you don't live in New York. Thinking about buying it? Stop thinking about buying it and just order. The sooner you do, the sooner you'll be glad you did. Lamott's Traveling Mercies is quite the trip.
