Week 14

To keep true to my previous word, I will in fact keep reviewing.

Last time it was Christian theology. This time it's a memoir.

Week the last: Searching For God Knows What by Donald Miller
Week the next: Look Me In The Eye: My Life With Asperger's by John Elder Robinson

Searching For God Knows What

And by Tweeker, I actually meant, a Seven weeker. I got lazy, so I never followed up. But, I am back. I'm sorry. Still friends? Good. So, on to the book.

When someone describes following Jesus as less formulaic and more like falling in love, I like to pay attention. Donald Miller has a way with words. He makes them come alive. He doesn't tell a story. He breathes life into it. Miller takes a frank look at what an honest relationship should be between a person and Jesus. He tells it like it is, and we need to hear it.

He tells stories that one could perceive as nearly self-deprecating and makes it humorous.  Throughout the entire book, I had a smile on my face. Even when he was telling me that, I'm doing it wrong.


Mr. Miller, you make me smile and re-evaluate my life. Good job.

Miller gets a 4.5 thumbs up. Keep going.
