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 counselling.In this cuttingly poignant memoir, comedian Susan Isaacs chronicles her rocky relationship with the Almighty - from early childhood to mid-life crisis - and all the churches where she and God tried to make a home: Pentecostals, Slackers for Jesus, and the uber-intellectuals who 'unpacked' everything, including the announcements. 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 'crazy in-laws' at church. Originally staged as a solo show in New York and Los Angeles, ANGRY CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD is a cheeky, heartfelt memoir which, even at its most scandalous, is still an affirmation of faith.
