Started blue like Jazz

I've started reading Donald Miller's "Blue Like Jazz". The subtitle for "Blue Like Jazz" is as fit a description as any:"Nonreligious thoughts on Christian spirituality". There are parallels between Miller's book and C. S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity". The conversational syle of both books doesn't give the impression that the authors have an agenda. However, Miller draws more anecdotes from his own life to illustrate his points. This book is as much about Miller's own personal journey and how his own faith developed, as about christian spirituality. Like, C.S. Lewis, though, Miller is writing to be accessible to non-christians. His target audience are those people who have questions about christianity; or don't have questions, but are completly wrong about it.
