Anne Lamott was on the Colbert Report pushing her new book: Grace Eventually.
From Wikipedia:
Anne Lamott (born 10 April 1954, in San Francisco) a political activist, progressive and author of several novels and works of non-fiction. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, her non-fiction works are largely autobiographical, with strong doses of self-deprecating humor and covering such subjects as alcoholism, single motherhood, and Christianity.[1]
Her new book seems to have a pretty universalist theme, based on this interview. Anne attends a Presbyterian church, but also claimed to not pay much attention to theology. Anne, in the interview, placed Dick Cheney in heaven alongside a Muslim.
She also had a funny moment where she called god “She”.
“I believe there is one mountain and many many paths.”
I know nothing of Anne, but it’s nice to see liberal spirituality hitting the airwaves after being shut out for so long. Thank you Stephen Colbert. You’re an Americone Dream.

She’s really great as are her books. I’ve met her twice at the Squaw writers program. She has a really practical approach to theology (regardless of what she calls it or not).

Oh I am kind of in love with her. I wish while living in San Francisco I would have had the courage to seek her out… only because I have that little crush. Oh. that might have been an odd moment… so I guess I will just admire her and her work from afar!

I’m not a fan.
