Flunking Sainthooed-Jana Ries- A year of breaking the Sabbath- Paraclete press "Flunking Sainthood allows those of us who have attempted new spiritual practices-- and failed--to br eathe a great sigh of relief and to laugh out loud. Jana Riess's exposé of her year-long and less-than-successful attempts at eleven classic spiritual practices entertains and educates us with its honesty and down-to-earthiness. In spite of Jana's paltry attempts at piety and her botched prayer makeovers, God showed up in the surprising, sneaky ways that only God does. Jana is the kind of girlfriend I like to have--hilarious, smart, stubborn, irreverent, and totally gaga over God." --Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color Show more
