More quotes by Donald Miller
My Sunday school teachers had turned Bible narrative into children's fables. They talked about Noah and the ark because the story had animals in it. They failed to mention that this was when God massacred all of humanity.

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.

Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.

Donald Miller
We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.
Donald Miller
Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.
Donald Miller
To change the world you'll need a pen.
Donald Miller
It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.
Donald Miller
Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
Donald Miller
Self-discipline will never make us feel righteous or clean accepting God's love will.
Donald Miller
What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.
