I'm No Philosopher, But I Got Thoughts: Mini-Meditations for Saints, Sinners, and the Rest of Us by Kristin Chenoweth
5.0
What I adored about this book was how intrinsically Kristin every word was. Read in her signature mix of regality and down home charm, "I'm No Philosopher" brings tale's of Chenoweth's life both light and dark into stark comparisons with her faith.
While each chapter is wrapped up with a "quick prayer", there is never a preachiness to the words. Chenoweth wants you to know what's brought her comfort and peace in her times of despair and joy, but there is never the "holier than thou" sense one can get from religious influenced stories. She shows herself, warts and all, with the hope not of conversion but of coming to a greater universal understanding.
Hearing Chenoweth mutter every giggle, sob, and sing-song note of this audiobook is a dream, and shows exactly why she is the enduring legacy that she has become.
