Searching for God knows what

Author: Donald Miller

This is the 2nd book by Donald Miller that I have read and again it pleased me very much. This guy writes books like you were sitting on the couch watching t with him or in the car on the way to a movie. It's not a super page turned or one that you can not put down...in fact, putting it down is easy in most places. But what makes it good?

The simple story teller that he is seems to capture the heart of all he is saying in his book. it all comes together to gather around the central theme of the book: relationship with Jesus Christ. he is screaming at Christians in this one and not just stuff they've heard before.

Miller comes out and says, "Becoming a christian may be more like falling in love than baking cookies." He is tired of how much we, as believers have complicated the gospel with works and rules and believes that those are important but not central and should not exclude the importance of relationship.

It is not the raw and real compelation that his book was but it gets the job done anyway. For those who love Blue like Jazz, you won't be dissapointed. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I will read it again one day.

Took me a half semester to read because I was reading it for a book group and we only discussed one chapter per week.
