Perfect for you if...

You're spiritual but not religious, and you find most prayer books either too churchy or too abstract for real life.
You love Anne Lamott's warm, self-deprecating voice and want a short book that doesn't feel preachy.
You're looking for practical tools to handle anxiety, grief, or everyday overwhelm without needing to commit to a whole system.

Maybe not for you if...

You need dense theological arguments or scholarly depth about prayer traditions.
You're allergic to anything with spiritual language, even when it's stripped back and honest.
You prefer books that stay completely secular and avoid faith entirely.

About this book

Anne Lamott explores three fundamental prayers that help people navigate difficult times and daily hardships: asking for assistance from a higher power, appreciating what is good in life, and experiencing awe at the world around us. Lamott recounts how she arrived at these insights, explains their personal meaning to her, and describes how they have provided guidance. She also examines how others have adopted these same ideas. Drawing on decades of writing about faith through personal experience, Lamott distills her understanding of prayer into these three essential practices. The book offers an honest, accessible approach to everyday faith that addresses readers of all ages.
