perilous1 's review for:
Searching for God Knows What
by Donald Miller
A series of essays, this book needn't be read in order. In fact, I began with the last chapter; purely because of it's title: The Gospel of Jesus - Why William Shakespeare Was A Prophet. That particular chapter was a lovely and fascinating take on Romeo and Juliet, the likes of which I'd never heard before. It hooked me, and so I went back and read the rest.
I find it a little difficult to explain the book, as it encompasses such a range of thoughts on beauty -- spending a good deal of time examining poetry and the arts as the author shares his perspective on human nature. The most stunning and valuable insights I gleaned from the book, overall, would have to be his observations on personal Identity.
While I didn't mind Blue Like Jazz at all, this book really felt like a step up for Donald Miller. More balanced and less political, it maintains his charming and whimsical conversational style while showing more maturity in his development as a writer. I'd recommend this book for anyone striving to understand Jesus as a person rather than a a religious idea.
