Finished Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller for the New Author Challenge. I talked about it a little in the post right before this one.
Okay, seriously, this was a fantastic book. I'm not sure it exactly clarified things for me, but I wish I were friends with Donald Miller. (And Penny, who I think I'd have a huge crush on.)
Anyway, for those who haven't read this, it's a book about Christianity for people who are weirded out by Christians. (Because, no offense, some of you are scary. And the scary ones are the loud ones, so they're the ones we all hear from.)
It was a phenomenal book, and I am so glad Bekki sent it to me. :) (Thank you again.)
I literally laughed out loud in parts, and I cried in others. And I got slammed in the face by still other parts. (Example: We aren't what we say we believe; we're what we do. Which means that me saying that I care about helping people and making things better doesn't mean anything until I actually help people and make things better.
I have some more books I want to buy once my "no book buying in 2009" hiatus is over. But there's time for that later. :)

It's SO good! I can't wait for Nicole to finish it. :)
And for you to finish it now. :)
He's going to be in DC in April, but it's a Monday so I may not be able to go. BUT YOU CAN. :)
