Finding Grace When You Can't Even Find Clean Underwear: The Meaning of Life and Why Other People are So *#$%@! Annoying

Title: Finding Grace When you Can't Even Find Clean Underwear: The Meaning of Life and Why Other People are So *#$%@! Annoying
Author: Lisa Earle McLeod
Publisher: Jefferson Press

What a book! It speaks such universal truths to me. About the meaning of life, men, relationships, politics, career, personal growth, war and peace, living and loving. And yes, even religion. Yes, all the serious matters that concern you and I. But don't get me wrong, this book can be HILARIOUS at times.

I have now found the one author who can make me laugh while feeling spirituality touched at the same time, in so many ways. I mean, if the title of this book fails to give you a hint, surely the chapter headings would tell you what to expect? Chapters like:

- What is the meaning of life & where did I leave the keys?
- Why do men resist change and why do women bother to try?
- Does Buddha need botox?
- Is your brain ruining your life?
- Does Santa Claus get anxiety attacks?
- Is religion stealing our spirituality?
- Is God a small, sassy black woman?

Finding Grace offers not only an intelligence and insightful look into life, it serves up wicked wit at every turn, even when tackling serious issues. To paraphrase the author, I urge anyone out there to read it so that we may find the grace to ignite the spark of divinity within us and answer God's call to become the people we are capable of beings.
