Will probably offend many; those who stop to think will find it insightful. ( ) alissamarie | Oct 25, 2009 | I liked a lot of the ideas in this book, particularly that Christianity isn't a formula but a relationship with God, and that Christianity shouldn't be used to make a person feel that he or she is better than someone else. In general, I liked the style--it's very conversational, and the author is refreshingly honest about the odd things that he thinks about and his own failings. I do think that he needed a better or more careful editor. The book had several spelling mistakes (some of them repeated) and other simple errors that should have been corrected.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0785263713, Paperback)In Searching for God Knows What, Donald Miller's provocative and funny book, he shows readers that the greatest desire of every person is the desire for redemption. Every person is constantly seeking redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life, believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness. Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems, status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace. Readers will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is simply the pursuit of redemption.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:15 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
