review 1: Best audio book I've listened to, maybe ever. Listening was almost as good as therapy. (Don't panic, I said almost, I'm not about to fire my therapist.) The honesty and humor made this book feel like a friend, at times I heard my own thoughts being read to me. This is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered what in the world God was doing in their life, and what was up with His weirdo fan club.
review 2: Sometimes you just want people to cut through the religiosity and say what they think, and Susan Isaacs certainly does that. In this refreshing and hilarious memoir the story of her life is intertwined with "marriage counseling sessions" with herself, God (the Father), Jesus, and a hippie former-minister-turned-counselor. Susan vents about many frustrati... moreons, from her lack of success in her acting career, to her religious experiences (She was bullied at a Lutheran school as a child and as an adult tried just about every kind of bad church imaginable)to her perennial search for Mr. Right. Her honesty is brutal at times, yet long overdue. I would guess that a lot of us have similar experiences and thoughts, but we wouldn't dream of saying them out loud - as if God won't know how we feel as long as we don't say it. (duh) This book is extremely entertaining, and until the last few chapters I wasn't sure if it would be more than just laugh-out-loud funny. But it has a twist at the end that is surprisingly profound. This book is truly unique, and I'd recommend it to anyone who has been disappointed with God, or anyone who wants to read about God but is tired of dry theology and/or sappy stories. You will not be bored! less
