Reading: Blue Like Jazz

This book was recommended to my wife by one of the other faculty members we both know. She was easily persuaded to get it having heard his glowing comments about it. It didn't hurt that my youngest step son and his wife are very active in one of Imago Dei's associated ministries in Portland. She picked up a couple of copies and read it several weeks ago. She gently suggested that I might like to read it also, but I was too busy with end of the semester work.

The author, Donald Miller, describes a number of situations that almost all of us have faced/still face in our Christian walk. It's always good to hear how others resolved some of these questions: Bible reading for example.

His description of ministry is very good. Many would pooh-pooh this book because it describes a post-modern church. These people are behaving in a more Christ-like manner and doing more Christ-like work than many of the traditional churches/denominations!

Read this book!
