  <default_description>Disillusioned, disenfranchised, and disinterested in anything churchy, Susan 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 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 &#252;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 &quot;crazy in-laws&quot; at church. Originally staged as a solo show in New York and Los Angeles, ANGRY CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD is a cheeky, heartfelt memoir that, even at its most scandalous, is still an affirmation of faith.</default_description>

A full-on hatefest was storming in this one sided conversation because God was too busy laughing at my misery to say much as I ranted and raved.

    <body><![CDATA[Hearing Susan speak in Donald Miller's Million Miles Tour recently, I was interested enough to pick up her book, if mostly to find out how her story continued.
