More quotes by Donald Miller
One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?
Donald Miller
The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
Donald Miller
Job found contentment and even joy, outside the context of comfort, health or stability. He understood the story was not about him, and he cared more about the story then he did about himself.
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
And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal you can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.

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
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.
Donald Miller
The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
Donald Miller
If the abortion issue is important to me, this is how you tackle that issue.
Donald Miller
There's no authoritarian structure at Reed College, but the education is conservative. So what you have is a lot of students who are very authentically looking for truth.
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
It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.
Donald Miller
There are two types of men in this world--one is looking for a woman to make his life complete and the other is looking for a woman to join his complete life.
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
The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
Donald Miller
I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.
