Accidental Saints: Finding God In All The Wrong People

"I never would have guessed that my favorite interview of 2015 would be with a Lutheran minister, but Nadia Bolz-Weber isn’t your average holy roller. Decked out in sleeve tattoos, she curses like a sailor and has a background in comedy. In 2008 she founded her own church, The House for All Sinners and Saints, which welcomes all walks of life — including addicts, drag queens and nonbelievers. Accidental Saints is a series of unflinchingly honest (and funny) stories about her life as a minister. You don’t have to be religious to get something out of this book. Like this: “Whenever people annoy me beyond reason, I can guarantee it’s because they’re demonstrating something I’d rather not see in myself.” This is a quick read that will leave you feeling better about yourself and others — for all our flawed, messy goodness."
