Query: Right book, right time

Ann doesn't bash you over the head with the Bible. She is not out to convert you. Her writing is not judgemental. It is honest, emotional, and strong.I connected with this book in a big, big way. While going through the MOST trying time of my life, Traveling Mercies fell into my lap. And although I had a hard time feeling sorry for the self abusive and self destructive author in the first few chapters, I grew to understand her faith and the strength she draws from it as the book progressed.This book gave me strength to face each day. I would reread chapters and repeat lines from the book to myself because I found power in them.God works in mysterious ways. That is why this book found me. If you need a spiritual boost, read it. And read it again. If you are looking for just another recovering-alcoholic-author-bio.....it is good for that too. But the faith stuff is where the book's power lies.
