It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened. Christian Living. Donald Miller was raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was only vaguely familiar with a distant God.

About this product

Product Information

"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." ?Donald Miller 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. For anyone wondering if the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture. For anyone thirsting for a genuine encounter with a God who is real. For anyone yearning for a renewed sense of passion in life. Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.

Awesome book that will deepen your walk with Christ
I love this book! It is such a refreshing and down-to-earth approach to the basics of being a follower of Christ. I purchased this book after reading "Surprise Me" by Terry Esau because that book was so enlightening to me and the author made several references to "Blue Like Jazz" and recommended it to his readers. So glad that I took the bait and bought this book! It is definitely unorthodox in the way Donald Miller describes his journey as a Christian; there are many people that he writes about that seem to contradict Christianity until he makes you remember that those were the very types of people that Jesus hung out with and saved. He made me face prejudices that I was totally unaware of in such an honest and transparent way; like he's conversing with me over a cup of coffee. One of his points that has really stuck with me was when he was asked to defend Christianity and he said he couldn't because 10 different people each have a very different definition of it. Instead, he chose to share Jesus with people and what a difference He's made in his life. A very thought-provoking book that has an easy cadence and seems so simple but is really very deep. I highly recommend reading this (and check out "Surprise Me" too!)Read full review

Blue Like Jazz: Thumbs up and down
I bought this book on recommendation from several sources. I have to admit that I was underwhelmed. One chapter stands out as significant - however. Miller describes setting up a confessional booth where the small group of Christians on his college campus confessed their sins to the people that came to the booth. Personal sins as well as general sins of neglect and abuse of the church onto the world. That was earth shattering to me. The rest of the book was rather insignificant and meandering. If you are a Christian and are looking for ways to challenge your own spirituality and learned behaviors on Christian spirituality, I would recommend other books over this one - "What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Phillip Yancey, and "A New Kind of Christian" series by Brian McLaren have quite a bit more meat in them. But the chapter on the confessional in Miller's book: brilliant.Read full review

Tired of hating Christians? Buy this one a drink.
Don Miller shows a lot of sarcasm, wit, and immaturity to weave a rapturous treat to some of the forgotten truths about God's love, the love of a friend for a friend, father for son, God for human. Donald brings his skeletons to the table to make you laugh (at him and at yourself). He's not the best writer ever. He writes for a Christian crowd. But if you ever wanted to hear a Christian stand on the edge of sanity and tell you what Christianity was meant to be like and not how our churches may sell it to you today, try Don on for size. Take him with a grain of salt, because he's tongue 'n cheek. Whatever religion or none at all, this is a breath of fresh air for the weary. This book changed my life, my perspectives, rigid and ridiculous. I found out that maybe Jesus was all about loving people and not judging them, and feeding them and helping them, instead of standing in pulpits, and only voting republican because they hate gay marriage and abortion. Whether you're for those things or not, maybe, just maybe, Jesus called us to do something a little bit nicer, and grander. Maybe if we realize our purpose, the purpose he calls us too, we won't hate him so much. we might like him (and ourselves) a lot more. so relax, buy the book, drink some coffee, and snuggle in for some deep thoughts and meaningless banter.Read full review

If you’ve read any reviews on this book, yes it’s true Miller is all over the place as far as his writing style goes BUT he is such a deep writer that it’s worth the extra brain work to stay on course with what he is saying. I’ve learned some very valuable life lessons from reading this book and to that I say it’s an amazing read and I recommend it for anyone searching for something REAL. GREAT JOB Miller!

It's not for the Christian who's faint at heart, but it's eye-opening.
I really enjoyed this book. It's very conversational and easy to read. It's a very personal account of a young man's journey through Christianity. His experience was very different from my own, which made the account quite eye-opening at times. I can't agree with everything he says here, but I learned from it, and it has changed my perspective. It made want to get back into the Gospels! And I have.
