**UPDATE**

I was reminded that I should provide a shout out to my brother Caleb, who told me about this book. He heard about this book from my other brother Aaron, who also has read it (mad shout out to as well). Caleb now has my copy of the book, which I expect to be promptly read and returned.

**End Update**

Just finished up To Own a Dragon by Donald Miller of Blue Like Jazz infamy. In this book, Miller writes his struggles as man who never knew his father. Miller and I are about the same age. Because of this, I didn’t get a great number of epiphanies from it. We both seem to be on a similar journey and about at the same spot in it. I found it an easy read and it reinforced many of the lessons I have learned in the last 5-10 years. It is good to know that God is consistent in his message. I would love to have the opportunity to sit at a coffee shop and talk with Miller; comparing notes on where he has gone, what conversations him and John MacMurray have had since the book was conpleted, and what God has taught him through that process.

As I read the book, the one thought I continued to have is where was this book when I was 18 or 21 or 30…..I think the book could have matured me in a number of ways much faster. So in that respect, I think it will be a valuable resource in the future to refer men to as they deal with this wound in their life.
