Watch the trailer for Blue Like Jazz

We loved Donald Miller’s book Blue Like Jazz enough to declare it one of the 20 Best Books of the Decade. Thanks to a “Kickstarter campaign” and musician-turned-filmmaker Steve Taylor, it’s now a movie.

“Subtitled ‘Non-religious thoughts on Christian Spirituality,’ Blue Like Jazz reads like a memoir in which Christian thinker Donald Miller invites us along on his own weird spiritual journey,” said Paste’s Kate Kiefer. “Peppering the pages with hip musical references and funny stories about his friends, Miller admits that Christianity involves quite a few paradoxes but argues that the faith is still relevant in a post-modern world. Spiritual leanings aside, his tone is instantly likeable, and there’s comfort in the realization that he’s really not trying to evangelize.”
