Blue Like Jazz is a 2012 American comedy-drama film based on Donald Miller's semi-autobiographical book of the same name, directed by Steve Taylor.
 Miller, Taylor, and Ben Pearson co-wrote the screenplay.
 The film stars Marshall Allman, Claire Holt, and Tania Raymonde.
Blue Like Jazz is the second book by Donald Miller.
 This semi-autobiographical work, subtitled "Non-Religious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality," is a collection of essays and personal reflections chronicling the author's growing understanding of the nature of God and Jesus, and the need and responsibility for an authentic personal response to that understanding.
 Much of the work centers on Miller's experiences with friends and fellow students while auditing courses at Reed College, a liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon.
 The book deals with inward spiritual dealings as Don, his friends Penny, Laura and others struggle with finding meaning in life and the ultimate battle with God ending with choosing him or choosing one's self.

Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil is an American alternative rock supergroup formed in 2010 by singer Steve Taylor with drummer Peter Furler (Newsboys, Peter Furler Band), guitarist Jimmy Abegg (Vector, A Ragamuffin Band), and bassist John Mark Painter (Fleming and John).
 Taylor formerly saw success as a new wave singer during the 1980s and early 1990s, and also fronted the short-lived band Chagall Guevara.
 However, by the mid-1990s he abandoned performing music and transitioned into work as a record producer, songwriter, and film-maker.
 In 2010 Taylor, who was frustrated at the slow pace of his fundraiser for his feature film "Blue Like Jazz", collaborated with Furler, Abegg, and Painter to record the song "A Life Preserved" for the film's soundtrack, and began recording other material.
 Taylor, Abegg, and Painter then featured on the Peter Furler song "Closer", under the name "Steve Taylor & Some Other Band", on Furler's album "On Fire".
 With those collaborations as a starting point, Taylor relaunched his career as a performing musician, and the lineup was branded as Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil.
 The group released a studio album entitled "Goliath" on November 18, 2014 to critical acclaim and modest commercial success.
 In 2015, Daniel Smith of Danielson, with whom the band had been touring, temporarily joined on in a collaboration touted as Steve Taylor & The Danielson Foil.
 Under this incarnation, the group released the EP "Wow to the Deadness" on February 5, 2016, and toured until February 12.
Elena Gilbert is a fictional character and protagonist in the novel series "The Vampire Diaries".
 In "The Vampire Diaries", set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, she is portrayed by Nina Dobrev.
 In the books, Elena was blonde, popular, selfish and a "mean girl".
 However the show's producers, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, felt that it wasn't the direction they wanted to go with their heroine in "The Vampire Diaries" television series.
 Instead, she became a nicer, relatable and more of "the girl next door" type, until her life gets flipped upside down when she meets the Salvatores.
 In April 2015, Nina Dobrev announced that she would be departing the series after the sixth season finale.
"The Vampire Diaries", a one-hour American supernatural drama, was renewed for a seventh season by The CW on January 11, 2015, and premiered on October 8, 2015.
 This is the first season to not feature Nina Dobrev as Elena Gilbert following her departure from the series after the season six finale.
 On March 11, 2016, The CW renewed "The Vampire Diaries" for an eighth and final season.
Roland Stephen "Steve" Taylor (born December 9, 1957), is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, music executive, film maker, and actor.
 A figure in what has come to be known as Christian alternative rock, Taylor enjoyed a successful solo career during the 1980s, and also served in the short-lived group Chagall Guevara.
 In contrast to many Christian musical artists, his songs have often taken aim at other Christians with the use of satirical, sardonic lyrics.
 In 1997, he founded the record label Squint Entertainment, which fueled the careers of artists such as Sixpence None the Richer, Chevelle, and Burlap to Cashmere.
 Despite this success, Taylor was ousted from the label by its parent, Word Entertainment, in 2001.
 He has produced and written for numerous musical acts, one of the most consistent being Newsboys.
 As a film-maker, Taylor co-wrote, directed, and produced the feature films "Down Under the Big Top", "The Second Chance", and "Blue Like Jazz".
 After a decade and a half of hiatus, Taylor returned to performing music in 2010 as the front-man for Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil, a supergroup he founded with Peter Furler, Jimmy Abegg, and John Mark Painter.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, subtitled "What I Learned While Editing My Life", is the sixth book by Donald Miller.
 After writing a successful book, author Donald Miller's life stalled.
 Instead of enjoying the fruits of his labor, Miller had slipped into a dark point in his life.
 He had no desire to participate in the daily responsibility of life and found himself questioning what his purpose was.
 While in this slump he was approached by two movie producers wanting to turn his book into a movie.
 "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" centers on the realizations that Miller came to while editing his successful memoir "Blue Like Jazz" into a screenplay for a movie, directed by Steve Taylor.
Searching for God Knows What is the third book by Donald Miller, published by Thomas Nelson, Inc., in 2004.
 This work continues and expands many of the "Non-Religious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality" that appeared in his second book, "Blue Like Jazz".
 In "Searching For God Knows What", Miller primarily focuses on his view that Christianity should not be approached as a formulaic "how-to" guide or moral checklist, but rather as an invitation to enter the only relationship that can provide ultimate fulfillment.
