I chose to read Searching for God Knows What because actually I was at dinner with a friend of mine, and he was talking so much about this other book he had read by the same author that we finally, after dinner we ended up walking across the parking lot to a bookstore and found the book, and he read me a chapter from that book that he had really liked, and I just really liked it. So he had said he was going to lend me this other book, so in the meantime, I picked up this book.
Searching for God Knows What is kind of like a journalistic so I don't know like a journal kind of way of explaining this guy's thoughts about God and religion. He noticed people seem to be acting like there's a shortage of maybe respect or love in the world and that we all kind of fight for what little bits there are. It's almost like we're on a sinking lifeboat and are trying to vie for a position of greater importance on the lifeboat. You know, who's gonna get kicked off because there isn't enough to go around, and who gets to be respected and loved by other people? He thinks that the way to get off the lifeboat and stop thinking the lifeboat mentality is just template realize that there's enough love to go around, there's enough respect to go around, you're always valued, all that stuff, because of God.
The thing I liked most about this book is that, although it is a Christian book, you could have it could have a lot of Christianese what I call Christianese, which is all the rhetoric and stuff that just makes bleh. I don't like that stuff at all. It didn't really have a lot of that. It was just a guy's personal experience and his own story. I think that you know, Christians and non-Christians would really like it.
I would give this book four and a half stars out of five.
