so relax, buy the book, drink some coffee, and snuggle in for some deep thoughts and meaningless banter.Probably I’m one of the oldest readers of Relevant magazine – a thoughtful, sometimes edgy, Christian-oriented publication geared to readers in their twenties and thirties.
we might like him (and ourselves) a lot more.
Maybe if we realize our purpose, the purpose he calls us too, we won't hate him so much. Whether you're for those things or not, maybe, just maybe, Jesus called us to do something a little bit nicer, and grander. 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. This book changed my life, my perspectives, rigid and ridiculous. Whatever religion or none at all, this is a breath of fresh air for the weary. Take him with a grain of salt, because he's tongue 'n cheek. 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. Donald brings his skeletons to the table to make you laugh (at him and at yourself). Tired of hating Christians? Buy this one a drink.ĭon 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. I highly recommend reading this (and check out "Surprise Me" too!) A very thought-provoking book that has an easy cadence and seems so simple but is really very deep. Instead, he chose to share Jesus with people and what a difference He's made in his life. 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. 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. 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. So glad that I took the bait and bought this book! 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. I love this book! It is such a refreshing and down-to-earth approach to the basics of being a follower of Christ.
Awesome book that will deepen your walk with Christ
