Angry Conversations with God

A Brilliant Memoir by Susan Isaacs

Susan is pissed at God, really pissed.  She is 40, homeless, jobless, all her acting friends have become famous and her career has tanked.  Then, the icing on the cake, when she sees the man she was going to marry locking lips with his new girl at a hot dog stand in Central Park. She decides she is done and needs to confront Him,  God that is.  And no, this isn't a one-time petition on her knees, 'wham bam thank you Man' confrontation.  Oh no, it's much bigger than that.  She and God need to talk, big time, because He just isn't pulling his weight in their relationship.  Deciding there is really only one thing to do, she takes Him to counseling because ultimately she just doesn't get how He thinks.  Everything always has to be His way, He's always right, never on time, and the worst of it, sometimes when she talks to Him, He just decides He isn't going to answer, like for years.  This is it, make up or break up time demanding an intervention from an outside force, a therapist.

And hence, the hilarious journey begins where Susan sits with Rudy, the psychologist with an edge of Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski, and retells her story on how there is a major communication problem between her and God and that He hasn't really been that 'present' in the relationship.  And He does show up, God that is.

This is a bold book that is so painfully real at times I would go from anger to loud gut laughs that bruised my tummy.  Susan executes something very rare and authentic in her memoir, what most of us won't, by confronting God with the questions that keep many of us far from Him.  Susan is aware that her problems aren't like Darfur, but they are her problems and very real to her.

Ultimately many of us are like Susan and we won't admit it.  We have frustrations and disappointments with God and blame Him as the source of our crisis.  The difference, she confronts Him instead of holding grudges and talking behind His back.  But, I'd say, through this book, we are offered the best scenario.  We experience confronting God without really doing so as Susan does all the hard work for us.  We get to just be a fly on the wall trying hard to keep our laughs and tears discreet in hopes no one will notice, we too, are in the room constantly surprised albeit psyched that she has the cohunes to say it all out loud to God with no fear.
