Searching for God Knows What

In Searching for God Knows What, Donald Miller's provocative and funny new book, he shows readers that the greatest desire of every person is the desire for redemption. Every person is constantly seeking redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life, believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness. Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems, status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace. Readers will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is simply the pursuit of redemption.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 04, 2008 Type: User Review Muddled

The entire book is a cobbled togther diray of Donald Miller's random thoughts. If you are looking for a good insight into the emerging church (which Donald Miller claims to not be a part of, but is theologically on the same grounds) where emotion...

This is the second book I've read by Donald Miller, and I can't really put my finger on what I like about his books. Something keeps me coming back to his work (maybe it's the deficiency in Christian authors - just kidding). It might be the way he...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 02, 2008 Type: User Review Paving the Way for Other Books

Donald Miller's term, "searching" is a good word for this book. My generation resonates with this theme because we all are searching for God in unexpected places. This book paved the way for other books that dive deeply into the things of God....

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 28, 2007 Type: User Review Searching for God - in the church!

I bought this book after being impressed with Miller's "Blue Like Jazz." This was even better. Having grown up in "the church" I had grown disenchanted with the institution, but didn't know what to do about it. Miller takes us back to the...

This was the best Christian Book I have read in a long time. I gave 7 copies of this book away for Christmas because I loved it so much I wanted to give it's message to people I care about. I will buy other books by Donald Miller just because...

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 13, 2007 Type: User Review Interesting thoughts, but little knowledge

Donald Miller's "Searching for God Knows What" is an interesting follow-up to his (more) profound book, "Blue Like Jazz". "Searching" is overall a good conversation about spirituality and moving away from the lists and formulas of organized...

This book was soooo slow starting out. It was definitely not what I was expecting from Donald Miller after having just finished Blue Like Jazz.

You'll find yourself putting this book down frequently so that you can just think about some of the mind-blowing content that Donald Miller is pitching. Great stuff.

It took me a while to get used to the author's cozy stye of writing, but eventually I grew to enjoy it. It's messy and all over the place - just like life and very conversational. I've been reading some heavy theological stuff lately and this...
