Awesome book ! This is a must read for anyone searching for their niche' in spirituality.
It's been awhile since I read a book about religion so this one was a good one to tackle. The author talks about Christianity in a basic, loving way. It should not, he feels be tied to politics, racial and gender issues, nor to lifestyle. It is his belief that Christianity should allow one to accept all people regardless of social class, gender, race, religion or other classifications. In the latter portion of the book, Miller emphasizes that one needs to love God and oneself to be a Christian but perhaps most important one must love Jesus. The author details his own experiences with Christianity but does not claim to be an expert.
There is no effort to sell his own beliefs, just share them. It's a fascinating approach because I believe that religion should be an entity of its own beyond all this. The author dwells on love of all mankind, helping others whether the need is due to poverty or isolation, and witnessing in this manner. The author apologizes for the atrocities performed under the guise of Christianity." Many reviewers have chosen to use quotes from the book to explain their impressions about this read. I'm taking one from the GR book description: "Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption." I liked that.
