Blue Like Jazz: The Movie
At the National Youthworkers Conference in Atlanta in November, I got to go and see an advanced screening of Blue Like Jazz: The movie. I loved it.
I first read the book in college and loved every word. For me, I was trying to figure out what it means to be a Christian and how to interact with a world that does not care for Jesus. Donald Miller has a way with words and storytelling that help give voice to my struggles. This book was a meaning full part of my Christian walk in college. I list Blue Like Jazz in my top ten books of all time or me. I make sure to hand out a copy to all my seniors that graduate from high school from our church. I know they might not read it right then, but if it is on their self, maybe one day they might open it up and it might seek to them and it did me.
The movie differs from the book in detail, but not in spirit. The movie deals with Donald wanting to get away from Jesus and is journey back to Christ. That story is important to tell and college age kids struggle with this identity of who they are, who Jesus is, and how one has faith. The journey is not easy nor simple, but the journey is important.
The moment this movie hits theaters I plan on seeing it again and if you like good movies that stir your mind and heart, than you will like this movie too.
