 am stockpiling antibiotics for the Apocalypse, even as I await the 
 blossoming of paperwhites on the windowsill in the kitchen."  -Anne Lamott 
 \n\nDespair and uncertainty surround us: in the news, in our families, and 
 in ourselves. But even when life is at its bleakest--when we are, as she 
 puts it, "doomed, stunned, exhausted, and over-caffeinated"--the seeds of 
 rejuvenation are at hand. "All truth is paradox," Lamott writes, "and this 
 turns out to be a reason for hope. If you arrive at a place in life that is 
 miserable, it will change." That is the time when we must pledge not to 
 give up but "to do what Wendell Berry wrote: 'Be joyful, though you have 
 considered all the facts.'" \n\nIn this profound and funny book, Lamott 
 calls for each of us to rediscover the nuggets of hope and wisdom that are 
 buried within us that can make life sweeter than we ever imagined. Divided 
 into short chapters that explore life's essential truths, Almost Everything 
 pinpoints these moments of insight as it shines an encouraging light 
 forward. \n\nAnne Lamott is the New York Times best-selling author of 
 Almost Everything; Traveling Mercies; Bird by Bird; Some Assembly Required; 
 Plan B; Stitches; Help, Thanks, Wow; and other books. \n \nRev. John Dear 
 is a long time peace activist, priest, teacher of nonviolence, coordinator 
 of Campaign Nonviolence, and author of many books. Archbishop Desmond Tutu 
 has nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.\n\n$25.\n
