Description

In such frank, funny, and perceptive books as Grace (Eventually), Plan B, and Traveling Mercies, Anne Lamott has written about her own spiritual journey through decades of trial and error. In Help, Thanks, Wow she has coalesced everything she knows about prayer into these fundamentals. "I do not know much about prayer," she contends, "but I have come to believe, over the last 25 years, that there's something to be said about keeping prayer simple. Help. Thanks. Wow." As she posits, it is these three prayers—asking for assistance from a higher power, appreciating what we have that is good, and feeling awe at the world around us—that can get us through the day and can show us the way forward. Lamott recounts how she came to these insights, explains what they mean to her and how they have helped, and explores how others have embraced these same ideas. "A prayer manual for people who wouldn't be caught dead reading prayer manuals.... Anybody who gets it as a holiday gift will likely just say, 'Thanks. Wow'."—Publishers Weekly "A refreshingly simple approach to spiritual practice in a pint-sized reflection on prayer.... Lamott manages to deftly convey the idea that in trying to control things, we've largely lost our ability to see the good and the miraculous in everyday life.... There's more here than meets the eye."—Kirkus Reviews
