Yes I know many who are reading this or have read it recently. I actually baught this book months ago but have had some other book higher on my priority list. Then I kept seeing copies of this book laying around and decided that that was God trying to tell me "HEY remember that book you baught... It kinda is about me... and I want you to read it". So I have been trying to absorb every word written which is why I am only on page 100:-) But on page 100 I found this:
There is something quite beautiful about the Grand Canyon at night. There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like the notes on a page of music, free-form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.) And as I lay there, it is occurred to me that God is up there some where. Of course, I had always known He was, but this time I felt it, I realized it, the way a person realizes they are hungry or thirsty. The knowledge of God seeped out of my brain and into my heart. I imahined Him looking down on this earth, half angry because His beloved mankind had cheated on Him, had committed adultery, and yet hopelessly in love with her, drunk with love for her.

Blue like Jazz
Thank you Donald Miller for putting in words how I am feeling!
