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. ( )

This is my favorite of the Donald Miller books. ( )

I actually had started this book before I ever knew about “Blue Like Jazz” - but put it down before I ever really got “into” it.

This book, like “Blue Like Jazz”, kept me pretty interested - when I’ve been asked what it was about, I have trouble finding an answer though.. Again this book reminds me of sitting and talking to someone and someone typing out all of the ideas and conversations over a period of time - but only the conversation coming from one side of the coffee table - Don Miller’s side.

I’m still a little thrown back at Don’s attempt at making sure that every reader knows he likes to smoke a pipe and drink beer. It’s not AS prevelant in this book, but there nonetheless.

There is some amazing insight into who God is in this book to be sure. Some paragraphs needed to be read a few times for me to even attempt to grasp the ideas Miller was putting out there. I’ll say that the last chapter was pretty incredible - relating the Love of God to the love Romeo and Juliet had and showed in the Skakespeare play. Pretty interesting. ( )

Not as good as Blue Like Jazz, but interesting. He talks a lot about his theological journey.

I love his writing style. ( )

I like many of the ways that this author discusses Christianity. He takes a easy look at it, one that is less about rules and more about really wanting to be close to Jesus. ( )
