Blue Like Jazz
Ok, I'm reading a really good book called Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. It's a creative non-fiction book that tells of his jouney of doubt and faith and it is beautiful. It reminds me of Anne Lamott's
book "Traveling Mercies" which falls into my cannon of life changing manuscripts. The writing is minimalist. Sentences are structured almost like J.D. Salinger's great American novel. But the book is more honest and thoughtful than any other book on faith that I have read. Check his page out at www. bluelikejazz.com.
Oh, and he likes Wilco...

Hey man, how have you been? Something's coming your way in the mail, my friend.
Hope you and Suzanne are doing well. We really miss you guys, ya know?
Love you, man

That book has been on my list for a while. i am assuming from your post here that you would recommend it? So, it is primarily about the author, correct? Any hesitancy in recommending it? Does there appear to be a 'target' for this book? Sorry for the question bomb here, but i was wondering about reactions people have had to this book since i saw it. As far as i know i haven't talked to anyone who has read it yet, so when i saw that you were, i thought i might as well ask. thanks.
I read the chapter on the website, it got to me.
I went out on a limb and ordered a copy of it from Amazon today.
I'm excited for it's arrival.

I guess if God could use a donkey He could use this book anyway you all should try reading "The life and diary of David Brainerd"
