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

4.0

This is an interesting little book, which, while it may fall outside of the doctrine of many Christian sects, is certainly not without inspiration. Barely over 100 pages, it can easily be read in one sitting. I enjoy Anne Lamott's casual, chatty style of writing. She became one of my favorite author's after I read her trilogy of books about her journey of faith - Traveling Mercies, Plan B and Grace Eventually. Lamott's books are just the kind of books I like to read. When I finished with them, I feel like I have just had a warm conversation with a good friend. In fact, I really would like to meet Anne Lamott and go to lunch with her someday. Her books are among my favorites because they are pleasant, life affirming and inspirational. Why did I give this book only four stars? Mainly because I wish it were longer with more warm, witty and wise anecdotes from her own life experience.
