Wouldn't mind reading that. Many things in my own life seem to mirror that of Anne Rice - from her early books with the fascination with vampires and darkness, homo-erotica tones in most her stories, right through to her new life as a returned Roman Catholic. Funnily enough the same year she turned her back on darkness, I did too later that year! Interesting, huh.
Though it is sad to see the good old vampires disappear - Lestat, Louis, Armand - all good things must come to an end, so I am happy that any books from now on by Anne Rice to be "for God".
Here's what is said about her auto-biography:
Anne Rice's intimate memoir - riveting, moving, honest - of her Catholic girlhood, her unmaking as devout believer, and the path she found to a new, all encompassing belief in her faith.
"A vivid, engaging tale of the journey of a soul into light. The vampires have hung up their capes." - Chicago Sun-Times.
"The author of 'Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt' offers her spiritual autobiography... [written] with heartbreaking honesty and beauty." - Library Journal.
"Fans of Rice's earlier works will enjoy discovering more about her life and fascinating journey of faith." - Publishers Weekly.
This sounds like a really good read. I know so many people who are seeking God and don't know it. They get caught up with so much New Age garbage it's truly pitiful. Having been there myself, I can tell you the only people who get satisfaction out of stuff like "The Course in Miracles" and Depak Chopra's works are the ones writing and selling that blech. God bless you.
