A Snarky but Authentic Spiritual Memoir
Ratings4
Average rating3.5
This was actually my second time reading this, and I remember loving it the first time. But it didn't hit me as much on second reading. It may be that I'm at a different place in my own life or that conceptions of spiritual life have changed since I first read it and so this book is less revolutionary. But I still appreciate Susan Isaacs's honest story of her life and bringing God to her counseling sessions.
Isaacs is an actress and a screenwriter. I hate celebrity memoirs, but Isaacs seemed to have enough of the writer in her for me to let this one slide under my radar.
So what did I think of it? She seemed like a ranting neurotic, jumping into relationships, jumping out, loving God, blaming God.
My instincts told me from the get-go: Walk away from this book. Some good parts, but not enough to have a whole book.
