Anne Lamott is without question one of the best writers of our time, but I would not recommend this book to anyone who is in a season of doubt or wrestling with their faith.
Buddhist teachings are casually slipping into more and more so called 'Christian' writing and I cannot help but wonder if people even notice when Buddha and Jesus are casually mentioned in the same sentence like they were supposed to be best buddies or something.
Or when Christians quote Indian 'gurus' or Yogis almost as much (if not more) than they quote scripture.
The trouble is that it's really hard to pinpoint and say 'this is not true' because it's not obvious. Just a word here, or a sentence there. A well timed quote.
I'm sad to say the ending left me a little confused and I'm not sure why the title is 'hallelujah anyway'.
