Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint by Nadia Bolz-Weber

New York Times bestselling author Nadia Bolz-Weber takes no prisoners as she reclaims the term "pastrix" in her messy, beautiful, prayer-and-profanity laden narrative about an unconventional life of faith.

Heavily tattooed and loud-mouthed, Nadia, a former stand-up comic, sure didn't consider herself to be religious leader material—until the day she ended up leading a friend's funeral in a smoky downtown comedy club. Surrounded by fellow alcoholics, depressives, and cynics, she realized: these were her people. Maybe she was meant to be their pastor.
