I added this book to my list over a year ago after hearing good reviews of the book from girls I worked with at camp. Every girl that read the book raved about it.
I have to say that I will not rave about the book. The book is not bad. Don't get me wrong. Miller creates amazing word pictures as he describes his memories of the past in relation to his relationship to God.
I guess what threw me off the most was his seeming lack of passion about his relationship to God. In my own relationship with God I cannot imagine a lack of passion. I believe that any Christian should be passionate about that.
Blue Like Jazz is a good book on artistic/literary measures but I would not recommend it based on devotional merit.
