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.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFull of Lamott's trademark honesty, humor and forthrightness, \u003ci\u003eHallelujah Anyway\u003c\/i\u003e is profound and caring, funny and wise--a hopeful book of hands-on spirituality.\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939146268903,"sku":"9780735213586","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_fd717e77-9938-4695-a37b-8ca87c58fe4a.jpg?v=1775090819","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/hallelujah-anyway-rediscovering-mercy","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
