Summary

Anne Lamott meets Elizabeth Gilbert in this inspirational, side-splittingly funny exploration of the power of living with love, forgiveness, and honesty.Glennon Melton became a sensation when her personal essays started going viral. Giving language to our universal (yet often secret) experiences, her hilarious and poignant observations were read by millions, shared among friends, discussed at water coolers, quoted in The New York Times, and have inspired a social movement. Melton's mistakes and triumphs, recounted with candor and humor, will encourage you to forgive yourself for your own imperfections and inspire you to make the most of life's gifts. In Carry On, Warrior, Melton shares her journey from reckless college girl hooked on alcohol, drugs, bulimia, and toxic relationships to becoming a sober and devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister and teacher. Her stories embody her need to tell and hear the truth, to be sometimes brave and sometimes silent, to say I'm sorry, to trust in something more powerful than herself, and to stop making motherhood, marriage, and friendship harder by pretending they're not hard. Melton believes that by shedding our weapons and armor, we can stop hiding, competing, striving for the mirage of perfection, and ultimately build a better life in our hearts, homes, and communities. In this one woman trying love herself and others, readers will find a wise and witty friend who will embolden them to cut themselves a break and commit to small acts of love that can have an extraordinary impact. Like Geneen Roth, Glennon reminds us that the journey is the reward and teaches us how to be our best selves. Like Ann Voskamp, she shows us that even doubt-filled faith changes everything. Carry On, Warrior is powerful, fresh, and life-changing.

  • Glennon's book, "Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed," has instilled in me a sense of tranquility, affection, optimism, and insight. It's like receiving a stunning present adorned with ribbons that can be eagerly unwrapped and savored repeatedly.
  • I breezed through this audiobook in no time because I just couldn't stop listening! The way the author shares her personal story is captivating, and I believe that every listener will discover something they can connect with in her narration.
  • The narrator does a fantastic job, but personally, I wasn't a fan of the book at all. It genuinely makes me question if she's actually familiar with the bible, given her words and beliefs that she considers acceptable.
  • Glennon's "Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed" is absolutely fantastic and delightful! Many thanks to Glennon for this amazing book. Personally, I am particularly fond of the imagery she presents, depicting God as a skilled knitter weaving together the fabric of our lives. It provides such a sense of comfort and reassurance.
  • I absolutely adore listening to the author, it's as if I'm having a face-to-face conversation with her! It's incredibly uplifting! This audiobook really helps me see and appreciate the many blessings I already possess. Many thanks! ❤
  • I'm a fan of Glennon Doyle Melton and absolutely loved Love Warrior. However, there are certain aspects of this book that feel a bit cliché and cheesy. If you're familiar with Oprah-style content, you'll find that some of it is not particularly groundbreaking. There's a significant amount of discussion about spirituality in a new-age, non-dogmatic way that, personally, doesn't feel fresh or intriguing to me. It's like a young person exploring their spiritual side. Additionally, the whole concept of being an imperfect mom comes across as cliché to me. It seems like there's an abundance of this topic in the mommy world, where it's almost seen as cute to talk about being a mess while balancing motherhood. That being said, I still appreciate Melton's intelligence, humor, and thoughtfulness to some extent. However, in comparison to her previous book, this one feels more like mainstream, cute mom blog thoughts rather than psychologically profound and genuinely touching insights.
