This was a book I wanted to savor, to read a chapter a day and reflect on it. Then I read it straight through, not even stopping for pee breaks, food breaks, etc. I didn't realize I needed someone like Lamott in my life until reading this book. I constantly found myself laughing in a way as if she were talking to me and telling me the stories herself. Or how many times her thoughts on religion and God had me agreeing with her, wanting to tell everyone, THIS IS HOW I SEE GOD AND MY RELIGION. SHE SAYS IT BETTER THAN I CAN. I really cannot say enough how much I truly love this book. Will be buying a hard copy so I can mark it up and read it over and over. Then give it to someone and start the cycle all over again. I will shove this book on you. I will be that person. NO SHAME. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change usâ??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 irrepres Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
