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.

More quotes by Donald Miller
No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
Donald Miller
Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.

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

The real voice is stiller and smaller and seems to know, without confusion, the difference between right and wrong and the subtle delineation between the beautiful and profane. It's not an agitated voice, but ever patient as though it approves a million false starts. The voice I am talking about is a deep water of calming wisdom.
Donald Miller
How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?
Donald Miller
The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
Donald Miller
The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.
Donald Miller
The mountains themselves call us into greater stories.
Donald Miller
And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.
Donald Miller
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
Donald Miller
You cannot be a Christian without being a mystic
Donald Miller
Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
Donald Miller
