Pastrix

In 'Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint,' Nadia Bolz-Weber chronicles her life from being a stand-up comedian to becoming a pastor.

The book is a candid and humorous narrative that explores her struggles with faith, addiction, and her role in the church.

Bolz-Weber reclaims the term 'pastrix,' which some Christians use derisively to refer to female pastors, and shares her experiences with a community of misfits, including alcoholics, depressives, and cynics.

Her story emphasizes the transformative power of grace and challenges traditional representations of faith, offering a refreshing perspective on what it means to walk alongside others in their struggles.
