swingbeat: 25/26 Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller

I finished this book and it's chock full of good stuff I don't know where to begin.

First off, this is a book by a Christian writer about his faith journey, but it's not just fo Christians. He has a post modern view of Christianity, and his writings and thoughts may shock the traditional Christian. I know that I've had similar thoughts and ideas as he has had in his doubts and questions of Christianity, and he tells many great tales of his myriad experiences(e.g. How many Christians did you know who lived in hippie colony for a summer?).

The writing style is easy, and I was able to finish this 230+ pager in one day. In each chapter, he talks about a particular topic (e.g. Grace) and how he dealt with it on his faith journey. (Btw chapter 18 on loving other people was very good). He doesn't spout the usual stuff that traditional preachers would say.

All in all, I think his views of Christianity coincide quite a bit with mine (chalk it up to both of us being Pacific Northest transplants) and I really liked this book. I'm gonna run out and buy it :)!
