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.

- Jazz like me...
Have you ever encountered someone who seems to be on the same wave-length... the second pea in your pod... ? This book was that very experience for me.

- Made me blue...
I was disappointed in this book. I expected a book about a man's search for and conclusion to finding God. However, the God that Donald Miller found is a bit short of the God of Scripture. Too often his solutions to his search were to better the world. If God is who he says He is, then when you find him you have no way to do anything but just worship Him and continue to worship Him. The state of the earth is so minor to the state of those that don't believe Him.

- Blue Like Jazz
This book is an interesting read, but not as good as people say. I finished it in a few days, but the message (as some other reviewers write) isn't that great.
First, his writing style is odd. It's as if he's trying very hard to deadpan, but after awhile it really just sounds stupid. For example, when talking about a married couple he knows: "She is very much in love with him, and he with her. Sometimes, when I am visiting them, they grab each other's butts as if I'm not even in the room. It's ... Read More
Rating: - Why am I reading this?
I have not read this book in its entirety, but I'd say I've read about 2/3 of it, skipping around. The reason that I haven't read the whole thing is that it's simply too fluffy for me to read it straight through. I just wanted to begin with that disclaimer.
I was loaned this book by a friend who had recommended many great books for me to read. With such a cool title, I was excited to sit down and read this book. I am not exactly sure how I would classify myself in terms of religion. ... Read More
Rating: - Had some Good points
I was told by a lot my friend's that "Blue like Jazz" was a must read... Now that I have read the book, I am not to impressed. Don seems to ramble through the whole book. Granted, he did make some valid points but overall I would not recommend this book for others to read. Come on Don the problem with Christianity is not just the "right wing", Republican, and church going people. Granted they have tarnished the imagine, but you should just judge these groups. We need to love all, Republican's or homosexual. ... Read More
