AFC Good Read 好讀部落

For those who went to the AFC event, in their book recommendation, they had one called "Blue like Jazz". I saw a drama base on this book 2 years ago, this week when I read it, it hits me hard. God spoke to me through this book and I have to say this is the second book that changed my life other than the Bible.

The book is about the author's spiritual journey, I really like his writing because even I'm a slow reader I finished the book in 4 days. He's got a sense of humor in his writing, it's like reading his journal and see his life being changed. The book mainly talks about sin, faith and love, its written in a way that's extremely relevant to us, because of the similar cultural background, and we have also experienced many of his doubt and sin towards God. I like he start with talking about sin — our sinful natural, our self addiction. Then it talks about God's love and we should response to His love; that is to love the people around us and the less fortunate. So that people would see God love in us.

I learn more about my purpose as a Christian, I start to see God's plan on me and JF and I found I'm different when I pray with the non-Christian basket ball players last night. Cos I truly believe God will change them when I pray with them & for them passionately with love.

I just think its a great and truly beautiful book, I was kind of in tears in the last chapter, I really hope that you will read it too.
