Hilf mir. Danke. Wow.
Um drei Gebete kommt kein Mensch drum herum: Wir rufen "Hilf mir" und schicken ein Stoßgebet Richtung Himmel, wenn wir nicht mehr weiterwissen; wir sagen "Danke", wenn uns bewusst wird, wie gut es uns geht, und wir seufzen ehrfurchtsvoll "Wow", wenn sich unsere Augen für die Schönheit und Gnade um uns herum öffnen.Anne Lamott schreibt einfühlsam, humorvoll und vor allem sehr authentisch darüber, was ihr diese drei Gebete bedeuten und wie sich unsere täglichen Erlebnisse in Gebt verwandeln lassen. Nach Jahrzehnten des Ausprobierens und Stolperns hat sie alles, was sie übers Beten weiß, scharfsinnig in diesem Buch zusammengetragen. Sie ermutigt dazu, das Beten einfach, aber nicht weniger kraftvoll, vor allem aber relevant zu halten. Denn Ängste und Sorgen begleiten zwar stets unser tägliches Leben, doch eine tiefere Verbindung ist in allem spürbar.Ein kleines Buch, das Ihr Leben verändern oder Ihnen einfach bewusst machen kann: Vier Worte sind alles, was Sie brauchen, um mit dem Beten (neu) anzufangen und Gott zu entdecken."Ich habe das theologische Verständnis einer Drittklässlerin. Doch wie sich herausstellt, hat auch ein Mensch wie ich, der keine Ahnung hat, seinen Platz. Offensichtlich gibt es ein großes Bedürfnis nach Menschen, die mit einer wirklich echten ökumenischen Position über Spiritualität sprechen." (Anne Lamott)

All New People
In this child's-eye view of the fear and pain of growing up, Lamott shows in vivid word pictures that the child is parent of the adult. Nan Goodman, hurting after a failed marriage and her father's death, goes back to the town of her childhood. As skinny little Nanny, aged five to 12, she either adored or was ashamed of her leftist parents, her writer father who never made enough money for comfort and her devoutly Christian mother who was his inspiration. Wrenching memories of family disasters, and especially the cruel snubs and abject solitude of childhood, are dissipated by love and laughter, and the adult Nan makes peace with her past.

Operating Instructions
With the same brilliant combination of humor and warmth she brought to bestseller Bird by Bird, Anne Lamott gives us a smart, funny, and comforting chronicle of single motherhood.It's not like she's the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a woman's life."Lamott has a conversational style that perfectly conveys her friendly, self-depricating humor." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review "Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer .... Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify." -- Chicago Tribune

Joe Jones
"Joe Jones" is Lamott's raucous novel of lives gathered around Jessie's Cafe, "a restaurant from another era, the sort of broken-down waterfront dive one might expect to find in Steinbeck or Saroyan." Her rich and timeless themes are also here: love and loyalty, loss and recovery, staying on and staying together, the power of humor to heal and to bind.
