Searching for God Knows What

Donald Miller demonstrates to readers in his thought-provoking and humorous book Searching for God Knows What that "every" person's deepest want is to be saved. Everyone believes in several gospels that promise to mend the damage in their lives, and as a result, they are always seeking redemption—or at least the sense of it—in their lives. Their goals usually include prestige, escape, successful employment, happy relationships, and religious systems to be appeased. Miller shows how the amassing of pointless material belongings, dysfunctional relationships, self-hatred, and a lack of inner peace are all consequences of not being able to achieve redemption. Readers will have the ability to recognize the common need for salvation in both themselves and others. They will learn that the only path to genuine atonement and purpose in life is found in the teachings of Jesus. The book's narrative journey—which is essentially the search of redemption—will resonate with both new and mature Christians as well as seekers.

Best-selling author Donald Miller challenges you to rediscover a religion worth believing in Searching for God Knows What. Through his signature style of writing, humor, and intellect, he demonstrates how God uses relationships to guide us toward salvation. And our connection with God is motivated by our longing for redemption. Miller claims that becoming a Christian is more akin to falling in love than it is to comprehend a set of concepts.

Perhaps you identify as a Christian and are unsure about the religion you choose. Or maybe you have no beliefs at all and you're challenging someone, anybody, to provide you with a true example of a real, living religion. Beyond the slick marketing, easy promises, and self-help formulae, there's a life-changing encounter with God waiting to happen. In Searching for God Knows What, one man's search for it is shown via a masterful weaving together of biblical tales and novel interpretations.
