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.

Good writing.

Donald Miller is humorous and insightful. For those who have been following him recently and are just now hearing about Blue LIke Jazz - this is not a business book. But it is a major factor into how StoryBrand developed. I highly recommend this book and anything by Mr. Miller.

Funny, and then challenging

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2012

Verified Purchase

I'm probably a bit late coming to this, but because the film is about to come out I decided to read what all the fuss was all about.

The book is a loose collection of thoughts and experiences of the author Don Miller as he lives life and works out where faith and Jesus and church and all that fits in. There were for me some real laugh out loud moments at his writing, his exchanges with people, some of the crazy things going on his head, as he moves from college, to camping under the stars, to church, to living with people and so forth. Funny stuff.

And then the last third of the book takes a turn and it became more challenging. Suddenly I could see a bit more of myself in the introverted 'the whole world revolves around me' scenario. It made for more uncomfortable reading, not because it wasn't any good, but precise;y because it was hitting th email on the head.

Recommended for a funny, but at times, challenging, read.

a joy to read

Easy to read. Simple, honest, funny, unpretentious, profound. Reading this is like a listening to a conversation with a good friend. The author's quiet unjudgemental honesty and gentle humour challenged me to lay down prejudices and self- righteousness and to realise we are not that very different after all. A very enjoyable book

I'm not sure what I think about this book. Sometimes I felt the writer was on an ego trip. However I kept reading because I felt there had to be more to it. On a few occasions the spirituality of the writer shone through and gave inspiration ok

A real book about coming to know Jesus

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2017

Verified Purchase

Blue like Jazz - often amusing and always provoking one to think. This is what I call a Real book about knowing Jesus. It cuts through religious ways like the proverbial knife through butter. What a beautiful and kindly description on discovering the God who is above and behind all creation, who loved us enough to send his Son Jesus to us and who even today reveals him to those who are willing and honest enough to look.
