The runaway New York Times bestseller that became a cornerstone of
Christian nonfiction, Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original
perspective on life, love, and redemption.
"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't
resolve...Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you
can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used
to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of
this happened."
Donald Miller was raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was
only vaguely familiar with a distant God. When he grew older, he ran all
the way to the least-religious university in the US: Rice College in
Portland, Oregon. Still, God pursued him. When he came to know Jesus, he
pursued the Christian life with great zeal. However, 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, non-judgmental, and soul-searching account, Miller
describes his remarkable journey with and back to the infinitely loving
God, helping you...
- discover how the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern
culture;
- learn how to have a genuine encounter with a God who is real; and
- enjoy a renewed sense of passion for your life.
Blue Like Jazz is a gentle, honest resource for those curious about
the Christian faith, or new to it, and offers a fresh and original
perspective on life, love, and redemption.
