Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

Revolutionary

I don't know how a person could read this and be the same after. It's like getting an email from God Himself.

Read this book if you hate religion but love God

This book was inspiring and funny but most of all it was validating. For years I have read books that were all about what my relationship with God was supposed to look like and I always felt I ran short of His expectations. This book validated my feelings and my relationship with God as I always thought it was versus what "church" told me it was supposed to look like. I don't have to strive for perfection and always fall short. I was saving the world at the cost of my soul and the sacrifice always felt too much. When you give to others you can drain your own spirit and Donald Miller helped me to go back to enjoying my relationship with God as a friend instead of the idol I created. My daughter recommended this book to me and I in turn have sent it to others. You'll love this book!

Wonderful!

I absolutely loved Don Miller's Blue Like Jazz! Eventhough I am a fresh confused believer, I enjoyed this book every step of the way. I just finished reading this book as a gift from my teacher, and I don't regret picking it up a random day and deciding to read a book that seemed strage. I loved the Don Rabbit story that I showed it to a best friend of mine! This book wasn't just a Christian-looking book to me, it was one of those reads that had you thinking for hours and you know that if you pick it back up, it won't matter because you won't loose yourself you would just open up more and listen to Don's thoughts. I felt like one with his thoughts because at times I would too understand somewhat. The Book is very open minded and realistic. It is not one of those story books and that's why I enjoyed it! It taught me some good short lessons I opened up to more. I had no idea why I was reading it but it's just one of those things you enjoy reading and understand ,yet you don't know how or why. You should give it a shot and read some...it's actually good, don't let the blue cover fool you. Thanks Don for the wonderful sensation of love and unthought of battles your book portrayed! :D

Thought-provoking

One of my favorites.

Asks a ton of great questions that need to be asked.

incredible read for the Christian-curious

This book changed my perspectiveon religion, and taught me that I can takewhatever path I choose...or need. I would recommend this book to anyone. Miller is funny and insightful.

Light, inspiring, entertaining

Althought the title is somewhat misleading, Donald Miler manages to effectively dip the reader into his life experiences to almost feel the same elements that drive his faith. This offers the reader an opportunity to gain a new perspective on many life experiences and a new grasp of what faith is and what love is. the style is light and at times quite witty. Very pleasant read, worth reading again.

AMAZING!

A must read for every Christian!!
