Not Preachy at All, September 27, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding God When You Don't Believe in God: Searching for a Power Greater Than Yourself (Paperback)
I spent the day in my backyard reading, meditating, and enjoying the breeze. I found this book just the ticket to inspire my own thoughts and dialogues with God. I was not a disbeliever...I'd just lost my relationship somewhere along life's journey. My shoulders were exhausted from carrying the load myself, but I wasn't sure how to re-connect with God so he can help carry the load. Somehow today...I managed to do just that.
This book doesn't preach.
It is what it is. A book of interviews w/ various people who have managed to connect w/ God after all kinds of odds.
It's poetic in nature and I found myself cheering with several featured writers as I identified with their challenges and triumphs.
If you're not sure where to turn, if the church seems like a waste of time, or you just want to listen to someone else's life for awhile...give this book a glance. I read it cover to cover in one day...and it helped me change my outlook on many things in my own life.

Not what I expected, September 30, 2005
This review is from: Finding God When You Don't Believe in God: Searching for a Power Greater Than Yourself (Paperback)
This book is not written by Anne Lamont. It has a FORWARD (2 pages) by Anne Lamont. I found the focus of the book to be on recovery, which is a kind of spirituality, but not something that works for everybody. Didn't work for me.
