Publisher Description

With the trademark wisdom, humor, and honesty that made Anne Lamott's book on faith, Traveling Mercies, a runaway bestseller, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith is a spiritual antidote to anxiety and despair in increasingly fraught times. The world is a more dangerous place than it was when Lamott's Traveling Mercies was published five years ago. Terrorism and war have become the new normal; environmental devastation looms even closer. And there are personal demands on Lamott's faith as well: turning fifty; her mother's Alzheimer's; her son's adolescence; and the passing of friends and time. Fortunately for those of us who are anxious and scared about the state of the world, whose parents are also aging and dying, whose children are growing harder to recognize as they become teenagers, Plan B offers hope in the midst of despair. It shares with us Lamott's ability to comfort, and to make us laugh despite the grim realities. Anne Lamott is one of our most beloved writers, and Plan B is a book more necessary now than ever. It will prove to be further evidence that, as The Christian Science Monitor has written, "Everybody loves Anne Lamott."

"I really enjoy Anne Lamott's memoirs, but her constant criticism of her mother and the Bush administration detract from her otherwise wonderful stories. I'm not arguing whether these people deserve her contempt, but her faithful readers could certainly use a lot less of it. "

    " i love her writing style and her honest attitude towards life/faith/her failings. My one problem was that her anger with bush/the war in iraq was mentioned in some form almost every essay, which got repetitive. "

    " Read this one last weekend too. Typical Lamott wit and insight, this was probably the most religious-sounding novel I've read by her so far; however, it isn't preachy. I love the essay-esque chapter the contains her typical gradutaion speech as she's asked frequently to speak at such events - a must read for any secondary teachers. "

    " Maybe it's because I listen to these books on tape that I enjoy them. The author repeats stories and uses the same formulas and same themes for stories repeatedly. Still, I continue to listen to her voice and get a kick out of her. I think she's like an old friend retelling me stories I have already heard. She must have a large following as she continues to publish, but she seems so quirky I can't imagine anyone but me liking her. "
