Blue Like Jazz

There has been quite a bit of energy cast out into the atmosphere lately about Donald Miller's book Blue Like Jazz.
I came across this work at my brother-in-law's cabin this past summer at Lake Caribou, Ontario. My wife was the one who picked it up off of the coffee table in the morning after our arrival, and couldn't put it down until she was finished in the early evening. She kept laughing and making "agreeing" noises as she read. All the verbal affirmation from the lips of my wife were hard to ignore, so after we returned home and saw the same title in our church library, I couldn't resist.
The text reads like a personal blog...full of personal insights and points of legitimate personal growth. Tolerance and acceptance, much like many of the teachings from the desert fathers, are loudly pronounced themes.
Its the kind of book which immediately makes you look for any other writing by the same author. We've all been there. We all long for this kind of inspiration to come across our path. Much like reading Philip Yancey for the first time. This writing receives two non-judgemental thumbs up.
