Keeps getting better... | Posted November-08-2009
I started my "Donald Miller experience" with "Blue Like Jazz. I was overwhelmed by the unique insights that Donald Miller gave on faith and life. I appreciated his honesty and transparency. I decided to read another of his books. I ended up reading "Searching for God Knows What", "Through Painted Deserts", "To Own a Dragon", and now I'm currently reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years". While waiting for this new book, I read "Blue Like Jazz" a second time. After reading Donald Miller's books, it's very difficult to read any other author. The reader is quickly drawn in to the story by Miller's ability to write conversationally; it seems like the reader is sitting down with Miller over a cup of coffee as one reads the book. I am about 3/4 of the way through "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" and I really hate it that I can't devote an entire day to reading the book from cover to cover. Miller walks the reader through his experience with story and as he grows, you grow. You gotta get this book.

Shane and Shane's music is getting better and better! Take a day and start with their first album and work your way to Everything is Different. I think you'll agree. I was talking to a friend the other day about the new album. I didn't feel they could top Pages. All of the songs on Pages, the layout of the CD, the song order, the journal entries that they put with the CD/DVD combo was incredible! Their songs now are more accessible to those of us that like to cover their songs. I still don't understand why none of their songs are hitting main stream radio. I often listen to KLove and the most recent song I've heard of theirs is from one of their earlier CDs. There are plenty of "radio accessible" songs; We Love You Jesus, Burn Us Up, When I Think About the Lord, and so far on the new album Everything is Different and I'm Alive. Hopefully we'll start hearing more of Shane and Shane on the radio. I really appreciate their hearts for worship and the fact that they share the overflow of their worship on their CDs. If you have ever attended a Shane and Shane show you know that you'd better be ready to have church. If you haven't been to a Shane and Shane show, look up their tour dates and plan on attending a show close to you. During the shows they are very open and laid back on stage. They don't try to put on a show; very authentic.
