Product Description
"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.

 Think about what you want before you purchase. October 11, 2008
It is, in fact, stated that is "nonreligious;" however it is more so, laden with post modernistic views of Christianity. I have no idea why some Christian recommended this book to my wife. The book out rightly overlooks the fact of God's Law and Grace.

In my opinion this book presents a ground-breaking philosophy to the Christian community as well as anyone who enjoys thought provoking literature. A must read. "Searching For God Knows What" by the same author is just as good, if not better!
This is the worst book that I have read this year! October 4, 2008
I know that a lot of people love Donald Miller and I know that I am in the minority, but I just didn't "get" this book. It was a bunch of unorganized ramblings.
Read it. September 28, 2008
The book was very good - it is very simplistic which is a relief from the self-righteous philosphical types. It uses stories to explain very difficult issues such as why Christ had to humble himself and come to earth to save the world. It is an easy read that will impact your soul.
A refreshing look into beliefs, spirituality, and the pursuit of knowledge September 22, 2008
I'm not completely done reading this book but WOW, it's such an incredible journey. It was difficult at first to read because the author is a bit sporadic but I've finally got his "style" down and actually, it adds some flair to the book. There are times that I'm laughing and then the next sentence I'm crying. For anyone trying to gain perspective on what a real relationship with God is like, what real people are like, and just the feeling that you're not alone, this is the perfect book!
