West of Jesus

Thanks to Mike D. for introducing me to the book West of Jesus.  I bought it yesterday and have had a hard time putting it down.  It’s written in a Blue Like Jazz narrative style which is the perfect genre for exploring God and introducing the surfing community to thoughts about him.  I often wonder how something like this might actually be more effective as a too of evangelism than a lot of the things we do to try and reach people.  Now granted I’m not done with the book and can’t vouch for the overal theology of it but I am attracted to its theme of searching for something "bigger than us."
