Overview

"Anne Lamott is my Oprah." --Chicago Tribune

The New York Times bestseller from the author of Almost Everything and Bird by Bird, a powerful exploration of mercy and how we can embrace it.

"Mercy is radical kindness," Anne Lamott writes in her enthralling and heartening book, Hallelujah Anyway. It's the permission you give others--and yourself--to forgive a debt, to absolve the unabsolvable, to let go of the judgment and pain that make life so difficult.

In Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy 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."

Full of Lamott's trademark honesty, humor and forthrightness, Hallelujah Anyway is profound and caring, funny and wise--a hopeful book of hands-on spirituality.

  • Having Mercy in the Midst of Difficult Times

    Kristen B. - 3 years 3 months ago

    Read entirely in one sitting; Hallelujah Anyway completely consumed me. The world has changed so much in the last year, and it seems overwhelming at times. Lamott's new novel is the answer to that despair, hopelessness and futility. It's exactly what the title says - mercy through difficult times, kindness when it's not deserved and singing Hallelujah Anyway. Lamott writes with such refreshing honesty. It's a book that is now what I like to refer to as "well loved" - underlined, dog-eared and slightly worn. I suspect I'll revisit my favorite passages for years to come.
