Searching For God Knows What

resource description
In this book--more orthodox and less controversial than his Blue Like Jazz--Miller leads the reader to explore the deeply relational aspect of Christianity.

He argues that because of the Fall, we are broken and living life by a certain "lifeboat mentality" where we are constantly trying to receive glory from sources outside of God. The outcome, he argues, is emptiness.

Miller examines the failures of bulleted lists and formulas to accurately convey the Gospel and connect us to Christ.

By reacquainting us with the true character of Jesus in the Scriptures, and by presenting a Gospel that is both revolutionary and romantic, Miller pushes us toward a deeper passion and understanding of God.
