Searching for God Knows What

Following after the amazing “Blue Like Jazz” is a tough job. “Searching for God Knows What” explores the idea of redemption in Donald Miller's signature approachable style and a solid read, just not as revolutionary and refreshing as “Jazz.” My favorite part was the final chapter, in which Miller explores the theological implications of Romeo and Juliet. I will never look at that story the same way again.

This book was an enjoyable read - yet another great work by Donald Miller. I felt challenged to dig deeper into what I believe and why I believe those things. He presents the gospel of Jesus in a way that is by no means groundbreaking and yet is still challenged the sense of complacency I have felt in my own faith walk. He presents the gospel as more of a romance and even presents the Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet as symbolism of that romance (a perspective I had never heard and found very intriguing). As always, Miller is extremely candid and the novel is full of personal and entertaining anecdotes that only serve to drive his points further. A great read!
