Book Overview

Disillusioned, disenfranchised, and disinterested in anything churchy, Susan E. Isaacs knew of only one thing to do when she hit spiritual rock bottom at age 40. . . . She took God to couples counseling.In this cuttingly poignant memoir, Susan E. Isaacs chronicles her rocky relationship with the Almighty--from early childhood to midlife crisis--and all the churches where she and God tried to make a home: Pentecostals, Slackers for Jesus, and the ber-intellectuals who turned everything, including the weekly church announcements, into a three-point sermon. Casting herself as the neglected spouse, Susan faces her inner nag and the ridiculous expectations she put on God--some her own, and some from her "crazy in-laws" at church. Originally staged as a solo show in New York and Los Angeles, ANGRY CONVERSATIONS WITH GODis a cheeky, heartfelt memoir that, even at its most scandalous, is still an affirmation of faith.

What a Ride!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 19, 2009

Who does not bring their own checkered past and frustrations to this kind of story? Who has not wondered what God can possibly be up to, in view of the dubious ways he shapes our paths? -- That said, here's my disclaimer: Part of the impact this outstanding book has on me was due to the many ways I relate to the pilgrimage Susan Isaacs relates. But (a corollary disclaimer) I'm confident anyone in our schizoid society who knows...

Should Come With A Warning Label.

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 19, 2009

1. Not for anyone looking for Christian platitudes or easy answers. 2. Will cause sustained periods of uncontrollable laughter.* 3. Reader may not be able to put this one down... ...and if you do, your friends will steal it. Trust me. I'm currently awaiting a second copy, and I'm pretty sure I know who will want to "borrow" it next. Susan Isaacs delivers the goods with Angry Conversations. It's wonderfully insightful,...

Suddenly Susan!

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 15, 2009

This book wasn't what I expected. The author, Susan Isaacs, is a moderately successful actress/writer/comedienne who has worked on movies and TV shows you would be familiar with. Why don't you know her on a first name basis? That is part of the fuel for the fire of this book. In telling her lack-of-success story Susan is "snarky," her cover is cute, and even her book title is clever. I imagined that it would be a humorous...

It's like taking a refreshing spiritual shower...

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 2, 2009

I was a bit trepidacious about reading this book at first glance, since I was not familiar with the author or her work. A few pages in, any misgivings I had were gone. It was clear that not only was this woman clever and funny, she was aggressively persuing God and struggling to find answers that made real sense. (Even if that meant taking God to couples counseling.) There is nothing beige about this book. It is full...

You'll LOVE and devour this memoir!

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 3, 2009

My favorite Memoir of the year--I LOVED IT! Okay, so taking God to marriage counseling? Are you serious? But hey, for years Christians have claimed they felt married to God, so if you are mad at God, doesn't it sound reasonable to take him to counseling with you? Comedy writer and accomplished actress Susan Isaacs answers that question and proves that no true comic can ever be considered shallow! This memoir is anything but...
