Product Description
"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.

 Great perspective on Christianity but more importantly a personal relationship with Jesus May 3, 2008
I just finished this book in 2 days and found it a bit refreshing to read a person who says what we at one time or another may think. I highly recommend this book, as anyone can relate to a persons struggle with religion.
A Valuable Piece of Literature May 2, 2008
This is a great read and an effective outreach tool for unbelievers/doubters. NON-Christian thoughts on Christianity. How cool is that?
This book had an impact April 29, 2008
I had been unhappy with my church for over a year when I read this book. As I read, I kept thinking "I want what this guy has". When I got to the part where he said he felt like belonged at his church, I knew I was church shopping. And yes I found a church where I belonged.
Entertaining and Enjoyable April 2, 2008
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.
MMMMM yeah baby April 1, 2008
We should all do the confessional thing Miller and his crew did at Reed. Gotta read the book to find out!
