Searching for God Knows What by Donald Miller (2004, Paperback)

Synopsis
Donald Miller is becoming one of the popular and widely read authors of new Christian writing. Unlike his earlier books, which were made up of short, essay-length pieces on a variety of topics, SEARCHING FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT has a central, unified argument: that as seekers we are unhappy because we are seeking, in a nervous and frenetic manner, for the wrong things. The result is a fragmented and unfulfilled life, with only the prospect of more of the same. Miller believes in the integrity of things--and he counsels that once we realize we are seekers, and once we realize that the gospel of Jesus is the way, our lives will fall into harmony. Miller's way of presenting his Christian views have found audiences among those who have turned away from established religion, and who have sought a more meaningful and personal spirituality.

Publisher's Note
In Searching for God Knows What, Donald Miller's provocative and funny book, he shows readers that the greatest desire of every person is the desire for redemption. Every person is constantly seeking redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life, believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness. Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems, status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace. Readers will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is simply the pursuit of redemption.
