Traveling Mercies, the second time around
I'm rereading one of my favorite books: Traveling Mercies by Anne Lamott. It has all these poignant moments, and I feel like she's really got a way of describing those times when the divine breaks close to the surface. I'll usually get all teary about four pages into each little chapter.
I also realize on the second read-through, since I am reading it for a book club that is more men than women, that it is very woman-specific in some ways. i.e., there is a lot of discussion about body image that I think may be a stretch for the men. Which could explain why they haven't signed up for the next month of discussion yet. Ah well. Back to the more "intellectual" approaches to faith & doubt.
