More quotes by Donald Miller
Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.
Donald Miller
We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.
Donald Miller
I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.
Donald Miller
I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.

I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.

People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.

I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.

Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.

The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
Donald Miller
The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.
Donald Miller
Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.
Donald Miller
If I have a hope, it's that God sat over the dark nothing and wrote you and me, specifically, into the story and put us in with the sunset and the rainstorm as though to say, “Enjoy your place in my story. The beauty of it means you matter, and you can create within it even as I have created you.”
Donald Miller
It is always the simple things that change our lives. And these things never happen when you are looking for them to happen. Life will reveal answers at the pace life wishes to do so. You feel like running, but life is on a stroll. This is how God does things.
Donald Miller
I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.
Donald Miller
Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
Donald Miller
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
Donald Miller
I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
