“Donald Miller to Give DNC Benediction”
\nBest-selling author Donald Miller will give a benediction Monday night at the Democratic National Convention. He replaces Relevant Magazine <\/em>founder and CEO Cameron Strang, who decided not to give the benediction at the Democratic National Convention as previously planned.<\/p>\n

Christianity Today<\/em> featured Miller on its cover in June 2007, and his spirituality book Blue Like Jazz<\/em> has sold more than one million copies.<\/p>\n

“Don is one of the top names among young evangelicals,” said Joshua DuBois, director of religious affairs for the Barack Obama campaign. “We didn’t think he would do it. We’re just ecstatic. I love Blue Like Jazz <\/em>myself. I think it sends a huge signal that someone who’s is helping to lead off the conventions is an evangelical of his calibre.” Click here to read this entire article. <\/span><\/strong><\/a>
