Hallelujah anyway: rediscovering mercy
Bestsellers (Non-fiction), Religion

Summary
Lamott ventures to explore where to find meaning in life. We should begin, she suggests, by “facing a great big mess, especially the great big mess of ourselves.” It’s up to each of us to recognize the presence and importance… of mercy everywhere - ”within us and outside us, all around us” - and to use it to forge a deeper understanding of ourselves and more honest connections with each other. While that can be difficult to do, Lamott argues that it’s crucial, as “kindness towards others, beginning with myself, buys us a shot at a warm and generous heart, the greatest prize of all.” Bestseller. 2017.
