Blue Like Jazz

I've read 7 chapters in Blue Like Jazz so far. I find myself many times thinking, "Finally somebody else is writing what goes through my head from time to time." I'm not crazy after all.

This book pushes the image of being a Christian aside and gets at the reality of the Christian life: ups, downs, grace and self-reliance. It takes the impossible (being a Christian by will-power) and exchanges it for the impossible (God creating the only way to reconciliation between us and Himself).

I still have several chapters to go. I don't re-read many books. I have a feeling this one will get traveled through several times before I get wheeled into the mortuary.
