to own a dragon
I’m terrible at writing book reviews, but I thought I would mention a few of my thoughts from Donald Miller’s newest book, To Own a Dragon.
For those unfamiliar with Don Miller’s writing style, he is an amazing communicator who writes out conversations and stories from his life, interspersing random thoughts and rabbit trails, creating books that are both incredibly entertaining and deeply meaningful.
To Own a Dragon tells the story of Don growing up without a father and the conversations he has with co-author John MacMurray as they tries to figure out life and God for a young man for whom the concept of being fathered is as strange as owning a pet dragon.
According to the numbers, 85% of youths in prison come from fatherless homes, and Don has the heart to help those young men both through his book and through the Belmont Foundation.
Whether or not one grew up without a father, this book will largely appeal to many. Don’s stories are funny and the lessons about being fathered by the good and perfect God are important for everyone to learn.
