– Denne boka likte jeg godt. Veldig godt. Donald Miller skriver veldig godt, lekent og ærlig. Til tider fikk jeg følelsen av at det like gjerne kunne ha vært Erlend Loe som skrev om sin vei fra religiøsitet til kristen spiritualitet. Men det var det altså ikke... Donald Miller forteller ærlig om sitt liv, sine feiltrinn og sin vei til et liv i Guds nærhet. Han tar oppgjør med store deler av sin tradisjon, den konservative del av kristenheten - de såkalte evangelikale, som han mener drar med seg mange fler ting enn bare Bibelens ord om evangeliet og livet som menighet på jorden. Selv om boka er skrevet med et amerikansk bakteppe, tror jeg vi som tilhører den konservative del av kristen-Norge kan kjenne oss igjen i mye og ha nytte av mange av hans refleksjoner. Det betyr ikke at man er enig i alt, men "det beste med en bok er ikke de tankene den inneholder, men de tankene den skaper".

The runaway New York Times bestseller that became a cornerstone of Christian nonfiction, Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.
"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve...Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."
Donald Miller was raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was only vaguely familiar with a distant God. When he grew older, he ran all the way to the least-religious university in the US: Rice College in Portland, Oregon. Still, God pursued him. When he came to know Jesus, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. However, 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, non-judgmental, and soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey with and back to the infinitely loving God, helping you...
discover how the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture;
learn how to have a genuine encounter with a God who is real; and
enjoy a renewed sense of passion for your life.
Blue Like Jazz is a gentle, honest resource for those curious about the Christian faith, or new to it, and offers a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.
