Steve talks about the highlights of this insightful and entertaining book as well as critiques the premise behind assessing a church on one sunday service alone.

Blue Like Jazz |
|
|
 In this book review, Steve discusses Donald Millers highly acclaimed book, 'Blue Like Jazz'. This book is probably not for everybody but it certainly is for lots of people, especially those who grew up in church culture. In essence this book candidly and honestly follows a young adults journey from the faith that was passed to him by his parents, society and church to an authentic faith that he wholeheartedly chose for himself. Sounds simple but it certainly isn't.
