Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
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.

An Honest Memoir
I'd never read Donald Miller before. This book made me a huge fan! I really enjoyed his honesty about his private world on several topics, mainly his spiritual faith in God. As I was reading, I could identify with so much of what he was saying in his book. It also made me laugh to myself in...

Blue Like Jazz!
This one's for you Tom Bombadil. And for anyone else who cares about this sort of thing as much as I do. Or even if you don't. Tom has been recommending a certain book by a certain "Christian" author to me for quite some time now and I have been telling him for quite some time now that I would...

Don't forget it is a personal memoir!!
I liked this book more than I originally anticipated. It is well written, entertaining, and contains some decent insights. It is strong on addressing poverty, not confusing Christianity with Jesus, and living humbly before God and man.It is crucial that the genre of personal memoir is kept in...

Jesus? or Don Miller?
I realize this is a work of apologetics (an argument for the Christian faith), though not in the traditional sense. It's not like Augustine's City of God or more modern works such as G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, or C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. I really wanted to like the book, but in the end...

Beyond the Fad of Blue Like Jazz
Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz spoke to me. Corny, I know, but I really sensed while reading it that I wasn't alone. And for some reason, I needed that - all those stories and ramblings just to tell me, "You're not alone." I feel ashamed to admit that I just read Blue Like Jazz recently. It seems...

Authentic Spirituality
Blue Like Jazz offers a unique and refreshing perspective on authentic spirituality. I was comforted and confronted as I read. This book helped me to work through frustrations over organized Chritianity and the many ways in which "Christians" are more concerned about power than they are about...

The Hunter S. Thompson of Evangelical Writers
I started reading this book while standing in the aisle at Borders. Then I sat down. Finally I bought the book and read it over the next couple of days. Don Miller is an honest and insightful writer who has found a way to go to church without getting mad. He has thrown in with the fruit-nut...

misleading
Obviously, from the rating, I'm going to pan this book. I'm going to try to do so respectfully, but even so, if you're heavily invested in this book's style and politics, you may just want to move along at this point.I bought this on the front cover promise that it represented "non-religious"...
