Hmmmmm. MoveOn.org and ACLU. Sounds Christian to me!

I love how I don’t even have to be here for this conversation.

It’s how I’m paying you back for feeding me last week.

I wonder why there are two different sites???

Publishers and authors are still figuring out the Internet.

Ok… if you go to http://www.bluelikejazz.com you get redirected to http://www.donaldmillerwords.com/ which doesn’t have the activism link.

The website is http://www.bluelikejazz.com/home.htm
and I looked under the “Activism” heading.

Just because he supports those groups doesn’t mean I won’t read it. I just like to know from what perspective an author is coming.

Don’s pretty politically liberal, but I find that folks across the political spectrum have all sorts of interesting things to say.

I can’t find any of those links on his site…. any chance you could direct me to them?

Is everything he has to say spot on? Probably not.

Does he have a funny way of addressing a lot of the issues that are common to many people’s Christian experience (pride, fundamentalism, doubt)? Absolutely!

If he is supporting those groups, I disagree with that decision, but it really doesn’t take anything away from reading the book.

Blue Like Jazz sounds good but on his website, Donald Miller has links to Move On.org and the ACLU.

I am suspicious!! (but I still might read it)
