From Publishers Weekly

Miller (Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance) 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. This book, in its own elliptical way, tells the tale of that journey. But the narrative is episodic rather than linear, Miller's style evocative rather than rational and his analysis personally revealing rather than profoundly insightful. As such, it offers a postmodern riff on the classic evangelical presentation of the Gospel, complete with a concluding call to commitment. Written as a series of short essays on vaguely theological topics (faith, grace, belief, confession, church), and disguised theological topics (magic, romance, shifts, money), it is at times plodding or simplistic (how to go to church and not get angry? "pray... and go to the church God shows you"), and sometimes falls into merely self-indulgent musing. But more often 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.

Product Description

"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. . . . I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened." In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. 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, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

4.0étoiles sur 5 This Book has Several Things going for it ....., Sep 26 2009
Par B. Breen "Canuckster1127" (Sterling, VA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
1. This is a flow of consciousness type book which offers some very honest and personal insights from a talented writer.

2. A Christian point of view coming more from the left offers insight into both the strengths and shallowness that mirrors and demonstrates the strengths and shallowness of the right. There are many evangelicals who need to consider and question the far or even moderate right point of view that has dominated evangelicalism and this book is one of the better ones. It doesn't require agreement to benefit.

3. A genuinely enjoyable read with some "aha" moments along the way that the author sees in himself that many readers will relate to and grow from along the way.

I enjoyed it and particularly benefitted from the story of the Confession Booth. It's revealing to me that many who dislike and disparage this book apart from coming from some predictable camps, are those who lead with their intellect and lack in the areas of practical compassion and loving people as Christ loved them. That shouldn't be lost on anyone while reading these reviews in general.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Finally, a book that I can relate to, Nov. 13 2007
Par Asia (N.S. Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality (Paperback)
Those who have read Miller's PRAYER AND THE ART OF VOLKSWAGEN MAINTENANCE (a take off on "Zen and the art of Motercycle Maintenance) will appreciate his BLUE LIKE JAZZ.

The thing that struck me most about Miller is his apparent honesty; something lacking the everyday evangelists. The book is a journey of searching and sometimes failure, which is why it probably rings so true. Miller is up front about his experiences and this is heightened by his seemingly honest desire to get his message across.

The telling of his journey and beliefs are poignent and written well--something one does not ordinarily associate with a "religious" book. But this book is more "spiritual" than religious and Miller seems to enjoy his life and the telling of it.

If you've been turned off recently by "Christian" beliefs and philosophy, and douted that it was sincere, then Miller's BLUE LIKE JAZZ is the book you'll want to get, either for yourself or as a gift for a loved one experiencing the same thing. I would recommend a Louise Hay book titled YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE and any other Miller book for spiritual help.

4.0étoiles sur 5 An essential - challenges and makes you laugh, Fév 16 2006
I've noticed that Christians today seem to fall into two broad groups: those who feel tied to the "Religious right" and those who really wish that people didn't associate Christianity with that group at all. This latter group seems particularly prone to cynicism, and seem to be the biggest fans and harshest critics of this book. If you love Pat Robertson, you should read this book, but you probably won't.

As a slightly cynical 20-something, this book was right on target for me. It challenged the comfortable groove that my spirituality sometimes hides out in, and forced me to learn from a less didactic and more experiential prose than most Christian books present. I dislike that this book has become, like "Wild at Heart," somewhat of a Christian fad, but only because I truly believe that if Christians got off their high horse or out of their blissful oblivion and truly grasped the refreshing bits of wisdom in this book, they would come away changed for the better.

To paraphrase something Miller talks about in the book, Should Christians be looking for friends (or books) that affirm their opinions... or pursuing the truth and transformation that comes from a dedicated walk with God? This book just might give you some new things to think about that will shake some dust off of your spiritual life.
