Anne Lamott, Grim Reaper?

Tweet Share

For those of you interested in self-proclaimed Christian essayist and novelist Anne Lamott, check out Albert Mohler’s commentary on Lamott’s celebration of having killed a dying man with barbituate-laced apple sauce. One’s first thought is, why is Anne Lamott not in prison after confessing murder? But one’s second thought is, where is the church that could be shaping and discipling Lamott toward a biblical eschatology and a biblical compassion for the dying?

Only when we see how lost we are, we can find our way again. Only when we bury what’s dead can we experience life again. Only when we lose our religion can we be amazed by grace again.
