Searching for God Knows What,
Donald Miller shows readers that the greatest desire of every person
is the desire for redemption. Every person is constantly seeking
redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life,
believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness.
Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling
relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems,
status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption
leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of
meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace.
Readers
will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal
desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is
the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature
believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves
identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is
simply the pursuit of redemption.
