I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think that Miller is honest and vulnerable in his writing about his thoughts on Spirituality, which offers a great challenge to myself and may others who struggle with the temptation to live "comfortably." My caution to readers regarding this book would be to take what he has to say as Miller has intended it to be read and communicated. I have heard some say that this book changed their life and all that they think about Christianity. I wouldn't say that's bad. I would however, encourage readers, to understand that this is his "Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality" as opposed to "The New Gospel for Young Adults as Dictated by Christ Himself".
I do commend Miller for this fantastic book and deeply appreciate his truthful struggle. None of us are perfect...it's about time somebody confessed it.
(I also loved the tidbits about living in Portland. It made me feel close to home when I was reading it from far away.)
