After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller decided he'd had enough. Impressing people wasn't helping him connect with anyone. He'd built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. So at forty years old he made a scary decision: to be himself no matter what it cost.

From the author of "Blue Like Jazz" comes a book about the risk involved in choosing to impress fewer people and connect with more. it's about the freedom that comes when we stop acting and start loving. It's a story about knocking down old walls to create a healthy mind, a strong family and a satisfying career. Scary Close feels like a conversation with the best kind of friend: smart, funny, true and important.

"To me, the journey seemed miraculous, but as I talk about the issues in the book I'm discovering they're universal. We all have trouble connecting and there are some pretty common reasons why." - Donald Miller (Storyline Blog)

Scary Close is Donald Miller at his best.
