Query: I forgot there were left-wing Christians until I read this book!

With the political scene these days being so meshed with right-wing religious influences, I found it refreshing to read a Christian perspective that didn't embrace the party line. This was my first book by Lamott.She discussed the challenges in her life (teenage son, getting older and wider, troubled relations with mother, disagreeing with the US war in Iraq, etc) with honesty and wit, admitting that it can be hard to keep the faith toward those we disagree with.One reader writes they wish she had expressed her sorrow (not anger) about the state of the world, but Lamott does have anger and to not express that would be dishonest. She struggles with it. We read because we too can relate to the anger, sadness, and struggle (in whatever area of our life). Another reader states she is still searching rather than living by Jesus' word. Isn't that Lamott's point? It is hard to live in the world today and placidly face its challenges.
