With the trademark wisdow, humor, and honesty that made Anne Lamott's book on faith Traveling Mercies a runaway bestseller, Plan B is a spiritual antidote to anxiety and despair in our increasingly fraught times.

"Lamott is one of the handful of contemporary Christian writers beloved by people who usually agree about very little... Lots of people love Anne Lamott, because she's funny and she tells the truth, and truth and laughter are two things we need more of."

- The New York Times Book Review

"Lamott writes essays that are howlingly funny mini-sermons, reminding us of what's important in life, pointing out the ways she believes our country has strayed from its core values and exhorting readers to go easy on themselves and with each other... For readers trying to live a kind of faith that's centered on social justice, who are saddened at the state of our nation and feel mired in a world gone mad with war and greed, Lamott and her quirky, funny perspective are nothing short of a salve for tired souls."

Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Anne Lamott has married a razor-sharp wit to a disarming spiritual sincerity. A ferocious smart, droll, and original writer... transcendenly lovely."

Entertainment Weekly

"Reading Lamott is like having a chat with one of the angels, a smarter, wittier one."

The Denver Post

"The verdict: Another reason to rejoice."
