Has anyone here read a book called Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller?

A friend recommended it to me today, and I'd like to hear other peoples' thoughts on it!

I just finished reading Blue Like Jazz.  It was quick.  That is about the best way i can describe it.  It is written in story form.  Donald Miller takes the liberty of this book to tell many stories that have encouraged and formed his faith both behaviorally and theologically.  Many chapters had some interesting viewpoints and ways to percieve interacting with the world, and some to me felt like he was just longing to re-tell a story he thought was amusing in his life. 

For the most part, i did enjoy it.  As above, it was a quick read.

Hi Archy,

Thanks for the review. It sounded to me like it might be a refreshingly honest look at our faith, how we relate to God, and to each other. I ordered it, and am looking forward to it. It will be great to read something that is "light" reading, especially since I've begun an online course, and am immersed with reading assignments!

Just got it! I'm excited about diving into it. Off to a weekend in the woods with my book, my homework, and my hubby!
