Dusk, Night, Dawn is a warm, spiritually uplifting Christian book from world- class writer Anne Lamott that explores living life to the fullest and with exuberance, even in dark times.

From Anne Lamott, the New York Times-bestselling author of Dusk, Night, Dawn and Help, Thanks, Wow, comes the book we need from her now: How to bring hope back into our lives "I am stockpiling antibiotics for the Apocalypse, even as I await the blossoming of paperwhites on the windowsill in the kitchen," Anne Lamott admits at the beginning of Almost Everything. Despair and uncertainty surround us: in the news, in our families, and in ourselves. But even when life is at its bleakest--when we are, as she puts it, "doomed, stunned, exhausted, and over-caffeinated"--the seeds of rejuvenation are at hand. "All truth is paradox," Lamott writes, "and this turns out to be a reason for hope. If you arrive at a place in life that is miserable, it will change." That is the time when we must pledge not to give up but "to do what Wendell Berry wrote: 'Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.'" In this profound and funny book, Lamott calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined. Divided into short chapters that explore life's essential truths, Almost Everything pinpoints these moments of insight as it shines an encouraging light forward. Candid and caring, insightful and sometimes hilarious, Almost Everything is the book we need and that only Anne Lamott can write.

“Anne Lamott is my Oprah.” —Chicago Tribune The New York Times bestseller from the author of Dusk, Night, Dawn, 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.

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)
