I adore Bolz-Weber's spiritual brilliance\nand tender human heart.\" ―Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author of\nBird by Bird Heavily tattooed and loud-mouthed, Nadia, a former stand-up\ncomic, sure as hell didn't consider herself to be religious leader\nmaterial―until the day she ended up leading a friend's funeral in a smoky\ndowntown comedy club. Surrounded by fellow alcoholics, depressives, and\ncynics, she realized: These were her people. Maybe she was meant to be their\npastor. Using life stories―from living in a hopeful-but-haggard commune of\nslackers and her unusual but undeniable spiritual calling to her experiences\npastoring people from all walks of life―and poignant honesty, Nadia portrays a\nwoman who is both deeply faithful and deeply flawed, giving hope to the rest\nof us along the way. Wildly entertaining and deeply resonant, this is the book\nfor people who hunger for a bit of hope that doesn't come from vapid\nconsumerism; for women who talk too loud and guys who love chick flicks; and\nfor the gay person who loves Jesus and won't be shunned by the church. In\nshort, this book is for every misfit suspicious of institutionalized religion\nbut who is still seeking transcendence and mystery.
