What To Read
“Nonreligious thoughts on Christian Spirituality”
Donald Miller’s second book is a semi-autobiographical here-and-there collection of stories from the author’s walk through spirituality. It’s not about being a Christian really, more about this one guy’s life and relationship with his creator. When I first got to college my RA demanded I read it and I have to admit, it blew me away. The author writes with a soft conversational tone, is very honest with the reader (telling it like it is), and makes no apologies for demonstrating what might seem like some controversial ideas and experiences. It’s refreshing sometimes to read someone else’s journey and know that there are other people out there who can sometimes be just as confused about all this “God stuff” as yourself. My only warning, it’s a book for older readers; not necessarily for any language or subject matter but the tone in which the author writes, like a college student, or twentysomething. Just about anyone can relate to a guy like Donald Miller and going with him through his journey of spirituality isn't something you want to miss.
