"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.… (mere)

I'd say that when I read this book in high school, I would have given it 5 stars; and now, after 3 years of listening to the capitalistic, moderate, reformed Donald Miller's podcast (primarily a tool for selling his own marketing products and setting up his political platform), and knowing that at the time he wrote this he owned a whole publishing house that he was trying to turn into a multimillion dollar company (and the book was probably a marketing tool for that, too), I'd probably give it a 1 star for disingenuity and pretentiousness. So, I'll give it 3 stars to balance it out. Maybe I should re-read it to give it a more fair score. ( )

Loved this book. It was an easy read, but made me think.

This book was initially recommended to me in High School. I read it then, considered it a good read that provoked several thoughts & thought I agreed with some of it while disagreeing with other parts. Overall, I could see why a lot of people liked it, but never felt my life should be based on it. It was simply a good read, but not worthy of being placed on my "Re-read Annually" list.

I read it a second time as I began college. I just finished re-reading it now as I am in the middle of Grad school. This time was...

It took me awhile to get the flow at the beginning of the book. It's very different than other books, in that, I'm struck trying to find the point of the book. It just seemed like thoughts pieced together to form a book. Each chapter could have easily been a blog post.

With that being said, the "Christian" ideas brought up in this book challenged me greatly (in a good way). It was a very open and honest look at a man's life coming to truly know God. If this did one thing for me it was to show what it's like to be honest with God. Quite the idea, if you ask me.

Other than that, I think this was a fantastic book, once I got the flow. Wish more people would read it. ( )

For David Gentiles
Første ord
Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk.
I once listened to an Indian on television say that God was in the wind and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in a breeze.

"It was as if we were broken, I thought, as if we were never supposed to feel these sticky emotions. It was as if we were cracked, couldn't love right, couldn't feel good things for very long without screwing it all up. We were like gasoline engines running on diesel."
"The genius of the American system is not freedom; the genius of the American system is checks and balances. Nobody gets all the power. Everybody is watching everybody else. It is as if the founding fathers knew, intrinsically, that the soul of man, unwatched, is perverse."
"I can't get there. I can't just say it without meaning it. I can't do it. It would be like, say, trying to fall in love with somebody, or trying to convince yourself that your favorite food is pancakes. You don't decided those things, they just happen to you. If God is real, He needs to happen to me."
"I will love you like God, because of God, mighted by the power of God. I will stop expecting your love, demanding your love, trading for your love, gaming for your love. I will simply love. I am giving myself to you, and tomorrow I will do it again. I suppose the clock itself will wear thin its time before I am ended at this altar of dying and dying again.
God risked Himself on me. I will risk myself on you. And together we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand the gravity that drew Him, unto us."
