Angry Conversations with God: Susan E. Isaacs
God in couples counseling? Sounds sacrilegious, but in the adept hands of comedian, writer and actress Isaacs, it’s a success. Isaacs reached bottom at age 40: no job, no boyfriend, no home. Of course, she blamed God. So off they went to counseling with the ever-patient therapist Rudy. Isaacs moves easily between recounting her life story and her counseling sessions. She describes encounters with the Nice Jesus of her Lutheran upbringing; the “Oakie” Pentecostal church and the militant counselor; the “Rock-n-Roll” church and the “Orthopraxy, Dude” church, plus her rocky acting career and her love life, including guilt-ridden sex and Mostly Mister Right. Isaacs readily admits to being snarky, but she’s honest about her quest and its conclusion: “I saw now all too clearly why I had married God: for the power and the glory. For the money.” Isaacs goes on a Job-like search for explanations from God, but instead finds the problem to be her. She’s funny, biting, earthy and brilliant.

Oh gosh. Sometimes my most authentic prayers have involved yelling and &#*$ words and stuff like that… Might have to read this one…
Sounds really interesting! Thanks!
I’ve been following your blog for a while now (from Jess’s, who I got from Angie Smith’s) but I only recently got a blog of my own, which is why this is my first comment. You’re a hilarious guy, and I loved watching that Fear video.
And I agree, Brothers & Sisters is insanely good. 🙂

I’m going to have an angry conversation with God about the fact that’s it’s 13 DEGREES here this morning.
::: looks up and yells, “Friend, IT’S MARCH.” :::
What ive always said is GOD knows our needs before we ask HIM – He knows what we are about to pray –
HE wants honest prayers and sometimes those prayers are angry! But the bottom line is talking to GOD daily and having a relationship with CHRIST – without conversation -that relationship won’t exist!
God knows our hearts – you cannot hide anything from HIM!
Blessings to you Matthew!
In Christ<><
I just got this book, and it looks really great. This is a good reminder to crack it open.
