Blue Like Jazz

I just watched the movie version of the book, Blue Like Jazz, from Netflix. Wow! It's a very honest and sincere movie about college students struggling with who God is or whether he even exists. It's about a 19 year old conservative Christian boy (Southern Baptist) student in a Texas junior college who transfers to the most Godless campus possible in rebellion against the hypocrisy he has grown up with. Even he was surprised by the outcome. Messy but very inspiring!

Though this book and movie was written for twentysomething and thirtysomething postmodern Christians, it's a great watch for all with some pretty meaningful conclusions. I liked it even though it was not at all like my experience on a Godless college campus in 1958-60. I was touched by how God can and does work in surprising ways to make himself known.  Available on Netflix.  with good description there.
