More quotes by Donald Miller
When I started studying the issue and issues related to fatherlessness, I realized I had all of them. Fear of intimacy, fear of commitment, poor work ethic, just stuff that you don't have when you don't have a man in your life to look you in the eye and say, You're good, or Good job.

People want to join a great story. If you want to lead, tell one with your life.
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's a genius part of you that wants to create. That part of you wants to talk to God. Get out of the way.

All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.

God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.

Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.

What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

I think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling.

Without a positive male role model in your life it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.
Donald Miller
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.
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.

The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.

All the trees are losing their leaves, and not one of them is worried.
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
We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.
Donald Miller
I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.
Donald Miller
The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.

I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.
