Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers by Anne Lamott

 A look at prayer in a new way. Just keeping it very simple. I would prefer it as "Wow Thanks Help." Wow is looking at the outside--trees, clouds, birds, breathing the air; Thanks is appreciating how these trees, clouds, and all came to be; Help might be a personal cry of help or something to wake people up to the climate mess---or to have the energy to do that.

Overall, this audiobook is well-written and inclusive for everyone — from casual Disney fans to die-hard “Disney Adults.”

Tricia Rose explores race and identity, social and economic inequality, resistance and empowerment, and commercialization and authenticity between hip-hop’s roots in community expression and mainstream culture. It's a LOT to say the least. I highly recommend if you're a hip-hop head.
