Blue Like Jazz

Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

By: Donald Miller

Narrated by: Donald Miller

Donald Miller's fresh and original voice may change the way Christians view the "status quo" faith and build a bridge to seekers who believe that organized religion doesn't meet their spiritual needs.

"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.

Exceptional thoughts

Loved this book. Beautifully authored and written in a tangible way most every honest Christian can relate to. I appreciated it very much.

An refreshingly honest account of his life•

The liked the details of specific events in Don’s life. I will remember the specific events because he detailed his feelings so honestly•

The most important thing…

Near the end of the story is the comment “I want Jesus to happen to you.” This is my second read of ‘Don’s’ book and something has happened again. It’s a beautiful read.

Must read! Enlightening!

The book starts, a little, slow, be patient. He speaks of his hesitations with Christianity, the prejudices and judgments we accidentally, and sometimes intentionally portray, and then how he fell in love with Jesus. You’ll be surprised at how this happens. A very organic story.

Authentic, cool story of how Jesus meets us.

I think that this is a great book for anyone searching for God or anyone that just likes hearing a good story.
