Blue Like Jazz is one of my favorite books. While perusing Don Miller’s web site yesterday I ran across some interesting news …
Apparently they are making a movie based on the book. It was filmed earlier this year and should be released soon.
I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of Blue Like Jazz as a movie, but I do know I’m excited about this little tidbit …
Here’s what his site says about his next book:
Don’s next book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years humorously and tenderly chronicles Don’s experience with filmmakers as they edit his life for the screen, hoping to make it less boring. He then shares the principles storytellers use to make a story meaningful and exciting, exploring their affect when he applies those principles to his actual life.
Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.”
These Words of Mine 
Did you catch Miller’s opening prayer at the Democratic National Convention the other night?Yeah, I’d steer clear of a movie.
I did, Nate. The text and video of the prayer is posted on his site. I’ll try to keep an open mind about the movie, but definitely can’t wait for the book!
What was the prayer like? He’s pretty funny.
It was good! You can read the text or watch the video of the prayer on his web site.I’m posting about it on Compassion’s blog.
Do you have Blue Like Jazz? If so, can I borrow it? In the future, I promise our friendship won’t continue to consist of me borrowing things from you.
Of course I do and of course you may. What’s mine is yours, friend. 🙂
