Book Description:
Members who requested this book also requested:"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened." In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

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!

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.
