This might be my favorite Donald Miller book. I loved his descriptions of the beautiful places he visited. I loved his honesty about his struggle with faith and his explanation of how God revealed Himself to Don through friendship and Creation. This is a great read that will make you view your life differently.

Currently 5/5 Stars.

this book was a very open and honest christian memoir. I love his perspective on things and the honesty of searching -but-not-searching-for God is refreshing.
He gives so downright funny stories about his trip cross country and the sometimes smart ass mouth that gets him in deep trouble at truck stops.
I like how God loves these boys in their mess and Paul is constantly challanging Don to be and do better.
Recommend Blue Like Jazz too.
