Blue Like Jazz [book]

" I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes.

After that I liked jazz music.

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way.

I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."

So starts Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I love this book, he has so many insightful perspectives about Christian spirituality. It has definitely inspired me and changed my life by reading it. You can read the first chapter, God on a Dirt Road Walking Toward Me.

All the best,
