Finished yet another book – “Searching for God Knows What” by Donald Miller – 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.
I’m pretty impressed with my new “reading trip” these days – hopefully it’s not just a “fad” – there are PLENTY of books in this young pastor’s library that I’m ready and willing to read instead of look at!
