I hope you have enjoyed the introduction to one of my favorite theologians this past week. The prophetic voice in the music of Steve Taylor provided me with a foundation during the developmental years of my education. I introduced you to:<\/p>\n

  After his album “Squint<\/a>” in 1993, which was the crowning achievement of his career, he vanished from the scene. I occasionally checked online to see what he was doing, and in 1994 I was able to meet him at a concert in Texas (I got to help him set up and take down the set). I eventually gave up hope that he would ever put out another album. But even though I gave up hope, I didn’t feel a lot better.<\/p>\n

  Then about four years ago, I was listening to Donald Miller<\/a> speak at a conference, and he mentioned that some movie producer had approached him about making his book, Blue Like Jazz<\/a><\/em>, into a movie. I remember thinking, “The producer better be crazy creative, because the book isn’t really a ‘movie book.'” I didn’t think much more about it.<\/p>\n

  Until about six months ago, when I stumbled upon the movie website Blue Like Jazz – the Movie<\/a>, and discovered who the producer is: none other than Steve Taylor.<\/p>\n

  I’m still not sure the book can be made into a movie, but I am confident that if anyone can do it, Steve Taylor can. He exudes creativity. Here is a video that shows them prepping and filming a scene from the movie:<\/p>\n
