Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers by Anne Lamott

Read this if you're looking for some short meditations or reflections on prayer or life. The three chapters describe Lamott's prayer life whittled down to the essentials of help (petition), thanks (gratitude) and wow (amazing!, seriously?) with a last little 'Amen' chapter thrown in. And there is always a good dose of humor in her writing. Here is quote from the Thanks chapter - "But grace can be the experience of a second wind, when even though what you want is clarity and resolution, what you get is stamina and poignancy and the strength to hang on. Through the most ordinary things, books, for instance, or a postcard, or eyes or hands, life is transformed."
