I recently finished up Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller.  I read his book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years and loved it.  A Million Miles is based around the making of the movie for his book Blue Like Jazz, so I decided to check it out.

Miller has a very abrupt and honest writing style skipping from short stories about himself and others, to philosophical tidbits about Christianity.  Lots of great takeaways.  Here is just one of my favorites: 

"There is a lie floating around that says I am supposed to be able to do life alone, without any help, without stopping to worship something bigger than myself.  But I actually believe there is something bigger than me, and I need for there to be something bigger than me.  I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out."
