To Own a Dragon
January 27th, 2006 | With the impending release of To Own a Dragon, the new book by Donald Miller (author of Blue Like Jazz), his website has a new entry page.
The same thing was done just prior to the release of Through Painted Deserts, and just like then, the first chapter of the book is available for download. You can also listen to an audio clip of Donald reading from the new book.
Something that took me by surprise is the endorsement of the book by comedian Jeff Foxworthy:
It seems we humans carry the weight of our dad’s shortcomings. I know - mine left when I was nine. Don writes with candid humor and unembarassed honesty. He rips himself open. This book sings to those who have felt responsible for their father’s demons. The truth is, our real Father is perfect in every way, especially in our love for us.
I guess I didn’t know that Jeff Foxworthy was a Christian (although I never really had any reason to assume otherwise) or that he was reading Donald Miller’s books.
Anyway, the book is released on Sunday, February 5, and if I have any money left over after I buy my second semester books, I’ll be sure to get a hold of it.
