Essays. Literary Criticism. Religion & Spirituality. Nonfiction. HTML:The New York Times bestseller from the author of Help, Thanks, Wow, Hallelujah AnywayAlmost Everything, and Dusk, Night, Dawn. Lamott's long-awaited collection of new and selected essays on hope, joy, and grace.
Anne Lamott writes about faith, family, and community in essays that are both wise and irreverent. Itâ??s an approach that has become her trademark. Now in Small Victories, Lamott offers a new message of hope that celebrates the triumph of light over the darkness in our lives. Our victories over hardship and pain may seem small, she writes, but they change usâ??our perceptions, our perspectives, and our lives. Lamott writes of forgiveness, restoration, and transformation, how we can turn toward love even in the most hopeless situations, how we find the joy in getting lost and our amazement in finally being found.
Profound and hilarious, honest and unexpected, the stories in Small Victories are proof that the human spirit is irrepres

I read this book in small bites as i read booiks that interested me more so this review is on only the last third, as I don't remember too much of the first two thirds. I ended up liking this last part better than expected. I have read lamott previously and have liked her writing, as I did with this book. I'm glad she has found her religion to be such a support and am amazed at all the good works lamott does. i also like many of her descriptions about dealing with difficult people and would like to have as much courage as she seems to possess. i also very much admired her political choices.

How does she do it? Starting over ten years ago when I was introduced to her writing with [b:Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith|10890|Traveling Mercies Some Thoughts on Faith|Anne Lamott|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403182174s/10890.jpg|14837] to today -- the warmth, surprise, and honesty continue engaging me.

Familiar essays gathered with fresh material -- her relationship with her now-deceased parents, her experience with Match.com! --Small Victories traces just that: incremental steps of transformation in Anne's life and the lives of people she knows. So much hope.

We don't have to merely grow older, we can all grow softer, gentler, wiser. ( )

I liked some of her stories, but I think she's trying to prove or shock some people by using swear words and bashing the Bush presidents. There were some mentions of the Bible, but no scripture references as I would expect in books in this classification. ( )

Lots of good moments here, and signature Anne Lamott kinds of thoughts and insights, but Small Victories didn't make much of an impression on me overall. It's good, but not great. ( )

Doomed without you.

The worst possible thing you can do when you're down in the dumps, tweaking, vaporized with victimized self-righteousness, or bored, is to take a walk with dying friends. They will ruin everything for you.
