Description

The runawayNew York Timesbestseller that became a cornerstone of Christian nonfiction,Blue Like Jazzis a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.

"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolveSometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."

Donald Millerwas raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was only vaguely familiar with a distant God.When he grew older, he ran all the way to the least-religious university in the US: Rice College in Portland, Oregon. Still, God pursued him. When he came to know Jesus, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. However, 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, non-judgmental, and soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey with and back to the infinitely loving God, helping you

• discover how the Christian faith is still relevant in a postmodern culture;
• learn how to have a genuine encounter with a God who is real; and
• enjoy a renewed sense of passion for your life.

Blue Like Jazzis a gentle, honest resource for those curious about the Christian faith, or new to it, and offers a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.
