Search - Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

This book is very unusual. It is for a Christian with a solid foundation who can see a differing opinion.

A great book for those confused about what is true Christianity--or ANYONE to read! Miller is truly unique and moving in his case.

There were some "lightbulb moments" in this book, but I would more call it a set of interesting anecdotes regarding one man's journey to faith.

Donald's not the best writer in the world, but he's very real and genuine. This book just let's you inside the life and mind of a young man struggling with the big questions...just as many of us do.

I don't want to give this one up! A book that is easy to read, but challenged all many of my thoughts about Christianity. He pulls out all the religious nonsense to breakdown who God really is. An honest and truthful book that brought me joy!

Great story about a man's evolement into adult life and purpose. Genuine spiritual growth.

I just loved this book. It is really thought provoking, and it looks at religion from a new point of view.

Very interesting semi-autobiography type of book. This book has a good perspective on the christian walk, without being churchy. Very approachable and easy to read.

What a great book! This book really taps in to what is missing, what people can't wrap their minds around, that they are not only loved, but liked by Jesus. That he likes us. Just as we are...but as the saying goes, he won't leave us that way!!

ABSOLUTELY amazing ! The very best book on christianity I have ever had the pleasure to read ! I would recommend this to anyone on a true spiritual " Search".

This author has some stories that are worthy of note: the hostage-rescuer story and the story of the confession booth come to mind. He aspires to a show acceptance of understanding the spiritual journeys of others, but his concept of Buddhism is more than childish ignorance, it shows a lack of true curiosity about a major spiritual group. He seems to suggest an acceptance of followers of Islam, but does not pursue or explain this idea. It is his view of Buddhism that reveals his shallow vision of true spirituality. Perhaps if he truly understood Buddhism, and embraced it, he could get over his shame over being a Christian and not need to apologize for the atrocities committed by those who called themselves Christian. His subtitle is misleading. Just because he is not a typical conservative radical does not make him nonreligious. This book was given to me by my sister a long time ago, and I decided to read it before I listed it on PBS. I finished reading it, and I don't always finish every book I start, so it was worth reading, but it's not one I would keep in my library.
