Tal Como El Jazz
This is the Spanish version of Blue Like Jazz.
Nunca me gustó el jazz, porque ea música no tiene sentido… Tampoco solía gustarme Dios por la misma razón. Pero eso era antes de que todo esto pasara». En los primeros años de Donald Miller, tenía un conocimiento muy vago de un Dios distante. Pero cuando conoció a Jesucristo, se dedicó a su vida cristiana con gran entusiasmo. En pocos años, tuvo un ministro exitoso que al final lo llevó a sentirse vacío, desgastado y otra vez, lejos de Dios. En este relato íntimo y de reflexión, Miller describe su jornada especial de regreso a un Dios culturalmente relevante e infinitamente amoroso.
The runaway New York Times bestseller that became a cornerstone of Christian nonfiction, Blue Like Jazz is a fresh and original perspective on life, love, and redemption.
"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve…Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."
Donald Miller was raised in a strict Texas denomination where he was only vaguely familiar with a distant God. When he grew older, he ran all the way to the least-religious university in the US: Rice College in Portland, Oregon. Still, God pursued him. When he came to know Jesus, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. However, within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God.
In this intimate, non-judgmental, and soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey with and back to the infinitely loving God, helping you…
