Blue Like Jazz

I am almost finished with "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller. It is a great book, a more spiritual side to God rather than the feel good ra-ra stuff. It is a great read and I recommend it for everyone Christian and Non-Christian alike. Here is a quote that struck me....

"Can you imagine if Christians actually believed that God was trying to rescue us from the pit of our own self-addiction? Can you imagine? Can you imagine what Americans would do if they understood over half the world was living in poverty. Do you think they would change the way they live, the products they purchase, and the politicians they elect? If we believed the right things, the true things, the true things, there wouldn't be very many problems on earth."
