The rest of the title is: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint. The author is a woman that was raised in a very traditional and conservative Christian family. This really turned her off religion and she talks about her stumbling around her life as a comedian and other things till she found her calling to be a Lutheran pastor. But not a traditional pastor but one that embraces everyone--homeless, LBGQT+ (I hope I got the letters right), addicts and others that struggle with religion. She talks about founding her church and the good things they do and their outreach. Really an inspiring look at religion and how it should be open arms to everyone but really isn't in practice. This book really made me think.
At this point the book is a keeper but does have around 25 WL for it so could mail off if that changes at some point.
