If you're familiar at all with Donald Miller, you mentally replaced "play dough" with "jazz". With raw honesty and insight, Tricia Goyer uses the loose reference to Miller's book as a launch to her own story of revelation and redemption.
At first, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the book. In just a handful of pages, I learned a lot about Tricia's youth. While I realize no one is perfect, her matter-of-fact tone caught me off guard a bit. But soon, that was what kept the pages turning.
Tricia proves that she is utterly teachable as a mom, a wife, a woman, and a follower of Christ. She says the things we're all thinking....not humorously, but with a realism that is encouraging but not victimized. She's come through struggles and in the process raised three great kids.
As someone who aspires to be a mom one day, I found her example to be approachable and encouraging. Her method of entwining Scripture with anecdotes didn't come off as forced or preachy. My one complaint was that at times it didn't seem like we were getting anywhere. Almost as though it was a series of revelations that, while meaningful, didn't quite connect well to the title and theme of the book. If she meant to parody "Blue Like Jazz" with the title, she did. But that was where it relationship ended.
