Product Description

A minister who has been a frequent radio, TV, and college guest speaker recounts his zealous early life pursuit of the Christian life and his experiences of emptiness and spiritual detachment, tracing his quest to connect with a God he perceived as distant.

First Sentence
I ONCE LISTENED TO AN INDIAN ON TELEVISION say that God was in the wind and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in a breeze. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, 28 Jul 2005
this is an amazing book. I loved every word and read it over and over, underlining parts I liked best or things that struck me, writing bits in my journal to think upon. It would be a book I'd lend a friend whom I'd been talking about Christ with. It's so approachable and down to earth and Don is not scared to share honestly, which I found really refreshing.
I think I want to read his other books now.

5.0 out of 5 stars One word: WOW!, 9 Jan 2004
This book will tear to pieces any stereotypes you have about Christians, or if you are Christian, it will make you serious reconsider what that means. Donald Miller puts a voice to powerful and radical ideas regarding following Jesus Christ. He is easy and fun to read, yet his messages are profound. This book, critical of Christian culture and an advocate for Christian spirituality, will surely have an impact on the Christian world. I highly recomend it to anyone interested in Christ, or in spirituality at Reed College.

4.0 out of 5 stars definitely Christian, but possibly not what you'd expect, 15 Dec 2007
By Joanne (Nicaragua) - See all my reviews
Bought in an US airport lounge as the speel in the Author's Note at the front caught my attention.

'I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside Bagdad Theatre in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for 15 minutes, and he never opened his eyes.
After that I liked jazz music.
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.'

Pretty American but not anything like stereotypical American Christianity. Seems like Generation X with faith. Probably most attractive to the 20's and 30's age group.

Doesn't seem at all pretentious, just a book by and about someone trying to grapple with their faith in God and how that matches or doesn't with what they grew up being taught.

Really easy to read and will definitely throw up some questions for anyone with a christian based belief system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunnin'
This is a great book, that has the feel of a story but is more academic.

So, a cool book that may very well help ou change your outlook on life...
