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.

Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.
Donald Miller
God made a whole beautiful earth and decided to put you in it, to experience all of this beauty. You can't do that watching television all the time.
Donald Miller
When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down. If you watch the news and there's a tragedy at a house in Kansas, that guy's driveway connects with yours, and you'd be surprised by how few roads it takes to get there.
Donald Miller
I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.
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
...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.
Donald Miller
It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.
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 you don't feel free and be yourself, you can't connect. Find people who accept your quirks. They'll heal your soul.
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
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
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.
Donald Miller
I listened so hard because it felt like, while she was telling me stories, she was massaging my soul, letting me know that I was not alone, that I will never have to be alone, that there are friends and family and churches and coffee shops. I was not going to be cast into space.
Donald Miller
But the people who took the bus didn't experience the city as we experienced the city. The pain made the city more beautiful. The story made us different characters than we would have been if we had skipped the story and showed up at the ending an easier way.
Donald Miller
If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.
Donald Miller
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
Donald Miller
Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
Donald Miller
I am human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.
Donald Miller
The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.
