Blue Like Jazz

Posted in Books

Have any of you read this book? I have read 5 chapters to far and it is very good. Very thought provoking. The author, Donald Miller,  is brutally honest about how selfish we are as a people and a culture. It is a very different book...it isn't fiction, so it's not telling a story, yet there are many analogies and shorter stories within the main theme. I'd love to hear what some of you thought if you have finished the book!

Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

Here is the description from amazon:

"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened." In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.
