What is Reddit's opinion of Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

From the perspective of someone who wants to explore real Christian spirituality and communion, minus all the drama and bullshit that comes with using all the grey areas of the Bible to dominate your theology, I would highly recommend you find <strong>Blue Like Jazz</strong>. It's probably in your local library.

See, as a Christian this is frustrating for me. There are so many passages in the Bible that seem to conflict with one another. I generally try to see Jesus as a loving example of how to live your life, and I try to use him as a guide for my actions. Also, bear in mind that the Bible as a whole was written during a time in which society considered stoning a normal punishment for adulterers and it wasn't unusual for a father to sell his children into slavery. I'd like to think that many aspects of the Bible can now be rendered obsolete, simply because society has progressed so far.

I honestly think that people idealize Jesus in their own ways. Donald Miller's book Blue Like Jazz really paints Jesus in a portrait that suits me personally.
