Review title: Jesus? or Don Miller?
Product review: I realize this is a work of apologetics (an argument for the Christian faith), though not in the traditional sense. It's not like Augustine's City of God or more modern works such as G. K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy, or C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. I really wanted to like the book, but in the end I couldn't. When I read Augustine, or Chesterton, or Lewis, or Oswald Chambers or any of several dozen others I could name, I hear Jesus speaking. When I read Blue Like Jazz, all I can hear is Don Miller, with a big dose of smug self-righteousness perched on his shoulder. I know he ends the book with a chapter on Jesus, and I trust that he really does know Jesus, and more importantly, that Jesus knows him; but I couldn't see Jesus because Don Miller kept getting in the way.
