New York Times bestselling author
The New York Times bestseller from the author of Almost Everything and Bird by Bird, a powerful exploration of mercy and how we can embrace it.
As we struggle to navigate an increasingly complex world and understand our place in it, mercy points the way forward, Anne Lamott writes in Hallelujah Anyway. In this insightful, encouraging audiobook, Lamott explains that it is mercy – the promise to offer and receive relief and forgiveness – that lies at the heart of all great faith traditions and our own spiritual identity. As it has for millennia, mercy gives us the chance to, in Lamott’s words, ‘soften ever so slightly’ to understand one another more deeply. By embracing mercy, we give our families, our communities and even ourselves the opportunity to see the world in gentler and more engaging ways. Mercy is the medicine, the light that shines in dark places.
With the sensitivity, wisdom and humour that have won her millions of readers, Anne Lamott explains the importance of mercy in our lives, the extraordinary power it can have if we welcome it, and the unexpected value of sharing it with others and with ourselves. As forthright as it is honest, as surprising as it is joyful, Hallelujah Anyway reveals both universal truths and a path home.
'Reading Anne Lamott ... is like sitting down with a girlfriend you haven't seen for a while.'
The Washington Post
