I love Ann Lamott. You learn about faith and grace just by listening to her life. She has not had an easy time of things, with drug addiction and poor relationship choices. But she found a way to come out of that, and to believe in God, surprisingly enough. I appreciated the tendency to make things into a comedy, rather than a tragedy. She has good ideas, and is just liberal enough that I don't feel as though she is preaching at me to be holy like her. To be honest, it feels as though she doesn't see herself as holy at all.
I wonder whether the intention of being in the presence of holiness is enough to get a little to rub off on you. If so, it seems to work for her.
