Book Reviews of Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
Book Review: Entertaining and Enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: This book was like a breath of fresh air. It was so refreshing and entertaining. Very powerful and deep at times but always enjoyable. I could hardly wait for my reading time each day. In many ways I wish I could think more like him. Its just a great read, and not necessarily just for passing around as an outreach tool for Christians.
Cons: I did not realize there were Christians out there on that waveband. Don is heavily influenced by his Portland Starbucks crowd. He is not from Texas anymore. Sometimes he offends my conservative roots. In his books he mentions several times the shortcomings of the conservative evangelical crowd, and the Republicans. If he is going to talk about this stuff, he needs to mention the untold amount of damage some liberal thinking has done to this country. Give liberal carnage equal time.
Summary of 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.
