More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
New York Times best-selling author Donald Miller explores the origin and meaning of redemption in this fully revised and redesigned bestseller. Hysterically funny, wryly provocative, and disquietingly insightful, Searching for God Knows What invites readers to examine their deep need for redemption, to feel it, know it, and live like it is true in their lives. Miller weaves phenomenal characters and true-to-life spectacles into his acclaimed memoir style to enrich, inspire, entertain, and ultimately challenge readers to see life in a new way. He shows that one of the greatest desires of every person is the desire for redemption, to have brokenness repaired. Instead of the chaotic relationships, self-hatred, wreckless consumerism, and anxiety that overrun a life without redemption, Miller uncovers the beauty and power of the Gospel to fulfill one of our deepest needs.

I do find a lot of Christian books very hard to get into and a lot seem very dry and irrelevant. I actually picked up this book when I was in the States and found it extremely readable and interesting. He is basically trying to get back to the idea of Christianity as a relationship, rather than a rule book. His ideas that morality is the consequence of a relationship with God - and therefore is more of a betrayal in that relationship than the contravening of some rule book, was particularly key to the whole book. It was a good introduction too for those who may be attracted to Christ, but repelled by a lot of what they see in religion. There were flaws in it - there was a bit where his history wasn't quite right and there were a few things about his interpretation of the Bible that I thought a bit eccentric. But, even if you don't agree with everything he says, he holds to and explains the essence of the Christian faith in an effective and refreshing way and, the greatest compliment, I really wanted to read it.

This is a very good modern informal book written by a guy wondering what he sould be doing. He tells of how he started writing a self help book which changed and he found other ideas, people and thoughts which fill the book. Facinating, very funny at times, spiritual, deep, honest, some times profound great read. Inspirational book for modern times and modern people.

This book goes into my Best Ever Top Ten List. It was a rare combination of funny, stimulating, unpretentious and clever. I had to make notes as I read as there were so many gems I didn't want to forget.
