Donald Miller has a unique style of telling stories of faith that is thought provoking but not simple by any means.
Reading his stories is like a peek inside his mind. He tells of the 9-1-1 events and how losing three thousand people in the United States is small in comparison to the thousands that are killed each day in the Middle East. He tells how the Arabs were treated in the United States after that event.
I remember watching the horrible news that fateful day. It was surreal. All different emotions were evident throughout the day. Some were in shock and numb. Others felt community with others and talked about it. Still others cried. Some businesses went on as if nothing happened. Others closed.
I love to know what’s going on in the mind of others. Donald Miller holds nothing back. He tells you like it is. His book reminds me of a diary. It’s an inside view of how he thinks and perceives the world. It does seem to jump around a bit. I start get interested in what else he’s going to say about a particular subject and he’s moved on.
We relate to stories. Jesus told stories. Donald tells the story through his eyes. It’s up to us how we perceive it.
If you love Donald Miller’s previous books, this one will be no exception.

I agree. That's why it took me so long. That's why it reminded me of a diary. It jumped around a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Max Lucado tip. I chose the NASA book. I didn't realize that you could get Max's book as an extra.
