The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.

How many people have damaged their own lives by mistaking enablement for grace?

People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.

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.

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.

We shouldn’t be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life could be magical it could be special if we were only willing to take a few risks.
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
You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.
Donald Miller
I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.

The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.

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.

Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.

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