good reads

I started reading Blue Like Jazz today. Donald Miller is so real and unashamed! He holds nothing back--just tells it like it is. This is refreshing in a way--for someone, especially an author, to be completely real and honest about something. Christian authors can sometimes get stuck in the rut of acting like everything is perfect and no one has any doubts, fears, or questions, when in actuality, most of us do. That's what's cool about Miller, he admits his struggles, shortcomings, and discontent with the idea of "religion." He works through these things on the pages. Tres cool Miller. I dig.

"...I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance; now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face."
