More quotes by Donald Miller
The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.
Donald Miller
I think the best thing a person can do is to read through the Gospels in the Bible and really look at Jesus, because if a person does this, they will realize that the Jesus they learned about in Sunday school or the Jesus they hear jokes about or the skinny, Gandhi Jesus that exists in their imaginations isn't anything like the real Jesus at all.
Donald Miller
Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.
Donald Miller
I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.

...I should have people around bugging me and getting under my skin because without people I could not grow - I could not grow in God, and I could not grow as a human.
Donald Miller
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.
Donald Miller
When we talk about the decline of the American family, I think we have to go back to the Industrial Revolution.

Maybe life isn't meaningless...Maybe just YOUR life is meaningless
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
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
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't cute or neat. It was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. There was wonder in it and enchantment.
Donald Miller
Lets choose to do something really difficult, something that saves lives, and let's do that thing with people we love.
Donald Miller
When a relationship is right, it is no more possible to wake up and want out of the marriage than it is to wake up and stop believing in God. What is, is what is.
Donald Miller
I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.
Donald Miller
Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.
Donald Miller
The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
Donald Miller
The most attractive characteristic in a person is the story they are telling the world. We stop and stare at stories.
Donald Miller
If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.
Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
