I'm a big audiobook fan so, I listen to her (AL) read her own books. My response is pretty much the same as yours. The political influence of her early life is pervasive in her writings.

I would say that no one’s work is 100% perfect when it comes to honoring the Lord.  Everyone is on a continuum including those you have mentioned.  When I read Lamott I laugh out loud (especially what she wrote about her in a swimsuit!) and some of what she writes really touches me, but I often wonder if she really is saved.  I know she has a whole lot of growing in godliness to do; still has a huge issue with rebellion.  But I think she is a baby Believer.  She, IMO, is on the outer fringes of those you mentioned—not in the same league. iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lance Muir Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2006 4:02 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] An Offensive Gospel.   JRRT, CSL, John Updike, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Lamott...Care to comment as to whether their's was a or b? ----- Original Message ----- From: ShieldsFamily To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: March 07, 2006 20:06 Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] An Offensive Gospel.   And me.  I use my imagination whenever I create a new design for a quilt, for example.  Or decorate my home.  Or write.  Or make a collage (I’m creating one around Romans 8.)  Don’t confuse a godly imagination with a worldly/fleshly one.  (God used His when He created the Universe.)

Water is composed of two parts, hydrogen and one part oxygen. The slightest deviation from the formula is forbidden. There is no room for broadmindedness in music. The skilled director will not permit his first violin to play even so much as one-half note off the written note, chord, and key. There is no room for broadmindedness in the mathematics classroom. Neither geometry, calculus, nor trigonometry allows any variation from exact accuracy, even for old time's sake. The solution of the problem is either right or it is wrong (no tolerance there). There is no room for broadmindedness on the athletic field. The game is to be played according to the rules with no favors shown for 'charity's sake.' There is no room for broadmindedness in the garage. The mechanic there says the piston rings must fit the cylinder walls within one-thousandth part of an inch. Even between friends there cannot be any variation if 'the motor is to run smoothly.' How then shall we expect that broadmindedness shall rule in the realm of Christianity and morals?
