J. Blue is a young man who decides to take Christianity seriously, not as a chore but as a challenge. He spends his inherited wealth almost as soon as he gets it. He lives in a packing box on a New York City rooftop. He embraces the poor as his best friends and wisest companions, distrusts the promises of technology (except for the movies), and is fascinated by anything involving the wide expanse of God's universe. He is the ultimate free spirit, it seems; but what is the source—and purpose—of his freedom? This novel about a contemporary St. Francis figure has delighted and inspired countless readers since it was first published in 1928.

Mr. Blue
Christmas Eve, I ask my sister, "What's a book you would recommend to everyone?"
"Hmm not sure. Oh, there's one called Mr. Blue. It's about a modern-day St. Francis, written as a response to the Great Gatsby. My professor wrote an introduction to it."
"Wow, that sounds great! I wish I could read it over break."
"I know, but it's basically out of print."
"Well, shoot."
Christmas Day, I open her gift to me.
"Oh my gosh, it's MR. BLUE! How did you - -?
...Well played, sis. Well played."
It's a great book. The seeming impossibility of Blue himself is made possible by the down-to-earth cynicism of his friend, the narrator and unlikely biographer. One of those books you finish quickly, but it's not finished with you.
