this book was a very open and honest christian memoir. I love his perspective on things and the honesty of searching -but-not-searching-for God is refreshing.
He gives so downright funny stories about his trip cross country and the sometimes smart ass mouth that gets him in deep trouble at truck stops.
I like how God loves these boys in their mess and Paul is constantly challanging Don to be and do better.
Recommend Blue Like Jazz too.

This might be my favorite Donald Miller book. I loved his descriptions of the beautiful places he visited. I loved his honesty about his struggle with faith and his explanation of how God revealed Himself to Don through friendship and Creation. This is a great read that will make you view your life differently.
