Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality by Donald Miller

4.0

Really good and interesting, though the writer seemed a little arrogant, as if he knew how well it was written and he played the readers to think, "Wow, this is an inspiring book." Many times I found myself thinking, "This is very good... too bad he knows it." I sometimes think the books written by those who just want to write and it happens to be good rather than the one who knew the exact formula to inspiring work is better. I also find it interesting that so many love this book and feel inspired by it, but no one I know of who has read it has changed anything about the way they live or think. It's a book they know is supposed to be liked, yet the point was never grasped. All this aside, all the organic elements of the book were great. So many things written made me so happy that someone else had been able to articulate the way I feel so often yet cannot describe. With these things in mind, I do recommend "Blue Like Jazz".
