Blue Like Jazz / A Million Miles in a Thousand Years



So I just finished Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. It is a great book and one that I think just about anyone can appreciate. In the book, Donald Miller, a self-described liberal, discusses his many problems with organized religion while at the same time maintaining a deep desire to follow the teachings of Christ.

I loved it so much that I bought his next book A Million Miles in A Thousand Years and read it in just a couple of sittings. In the second book, the author discusses his desire to make a better story of his life by pursuing new experiences.

After reading and comparing both books, I would describe Blue Like Jazz as a book that helps you think better while A Million Miles is a book that helps you live better.

I will be revisiting these books in the future I am sure.

Highly recommended!
