À propos de cet audio

"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself....I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."
Donald Miller

For anyone wondering if the Christian faith is still relevant in a post-modern culture, for anyone thirsting for a genuine encounter with a God who is real, for anyone yearning for a renewed sense of passion in life...Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Miller...is a young writer, speaker, and campus ministry leader. An earnest evangelical who nearly lost his faith, he went on a spiritual journey, found some progressive politics, and most importantly, discovered Jesus' relevance for everyday life....Miller is enjoyably clever, and his story is telling and beautiful, even poignant. (The story of the reverse confession booth is worth the price of the book.) The title is meant to be evocative, and the subtitle -- 'Non-Religious' thoughts about 'Christian Spirituality' -- indicates Miller's distrust of the institutional church and his desire to appeal to those experimenting with other flavors of spirituality." (Publishers Weekly)

I really liked this book. I'm not religious, or even very spiritual myself, so having Christian spirituality presented to me the way the author went about it was like a breath of fresh air. At no point did it feel like the author was trying to push any sort of agenda, rather he told a beautiful story about how his life experiences (as well as the experiences of many others he was involved with) were able to relate deeply to the stories of the bible. I've never personally read too deeply into Christian spirituality or the bible, but after reading this book I'll be making an effort to take the time to do so.

fantastic book

I truly loved reading this book and struggled to only give the author a 4/5 for overall marks. I hope he's not offended by it because I loved the book. I think he's a brilliant writer and I'm going to listen to more of his books. I just found myself a little frustrated with his viewpoint at times. I hope I word this well. In the book, Donald repeatedly accuses people in the church of being judgemental. Although I understand why he felt that, I kept wanting to say, "Don't you realize you're judging people in the church?". I can see because of his childhood hurts that he often went into situations expecting to be rejected and then felt that. Like when he went to the camp unshowered and when that girl tried to welcome him he reacted like a prickly pear. Growing up in my church there were two men, one who was off and on homeless. They smelled horrible, but they kept coming back because of the love and assistance our church gave them. I know that the church can be judgemental thought, because it's full of people, and people aren't perfect. Most of the people that I know in the church come with the same kind of baggage that Donald has, myself included. We are all broken and we all are just trying our best to live right before God. Some living too strict, some living too loose. Neither is God's best in my opinion. I do want to thank Donald for being honest and authentic. It was so refreshing and thought provking! #Audible1
