Anne Lamott argues that prayer can be reduced to three simple forms: help, thanks, and wow. "Help" is the admission that we cannot manage alone; "Thanks" is the acknowledgment of grace in ordinary things; "Wow" is the response to beauty, wonder, and awe. She writes with humor and honesty about her own struggles, including addiction, family troubles, and doubt, and about how she prays without being sure whom she is speaking to.
A fit for readers who find formal religion hard but want a way to pray, and for fans of Lamott's candid, funny voice. It is short and easy to read, and gives practical encouragement.
Inward-looking and contemplative; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
