Finding God in All the Wrong People
Book • 2016
In 'Accidental Saints,' Nadia Bolz-Weber shares stories from her life as a pastor, detailing her encounters with grace through the lives of people who might be considered 'wrong' or unconventional.

The book is characterized by Bolz-Weber's confessional style, where she candidly discusses her own mistakes and shortcomings, as well as those of the people around her.

It emphasizes the idea that God uses broken people to do His work and that grace can be found in the most unexpected places.

The stories are often funny, sometimes tragic, but always vulnerable and true, reflecting Bolz-Weber's unique blend of humor, intelligence, and theological insight.
