Book Reviews of To Own a Dragon: Reflections On Growing Up Without A Father
Book Review: The Miller Magic continues
Summary: 4 Stars
The fourth Don Miller book deals with the challenges of growing up without a father. That is not a topic that is directly relevant to me; I grew up with an outstanding role model in my father. But it is as readable and as relevant to every reader as the other three. He is a terrific writer, unique I think today in his ability to relate faith winsomely and in the language of ordinary people. Maybe the trick is that he talks about faith by talking about the things of real life- sex, money, girls- with genuine honesty. Particular gems were his reflections on how sin builds a calloused heart, his guiding metaphor of the mentor-less adolescent elephants, his description of the sanctity of sex in terms of currency markets and when he writes about relationships generally. The guy brings a lot to the table. Everyone should read him. I still hate the American Christian preoccupation with gender roles and the myth of the emasculated male that undergirds so much of the writing in this area....
