Product Description
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.

Great choice for new and seasoned Christians November 9, 2007

Like Anne Lamott, I love Donald Miller for his honesty and ability to laugh at himself and accept himself and others. The collective Christian community does far too much judging and not enough loving, and Miller doesn't mind saying so. He touches the tenets of the Christian faith with the soft candor of a good friend. One of my favorite thoughts he includes is that (and this goes for everyone) if Jesus met him on the street, he finally felt that Jesus would like him. We ministry folks always aim to communicate this critical point, but lack something real and raw to make it stick. Kudos to Donald Miller.
