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
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.

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.

I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

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.
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
All my books have been titled based on a piece of the prose from inside the book.
Donald Miller
The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.
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
I had always suspected language was quite limited in its ability to communicate the intricate mysteries of truth.
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.
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.

She knows who she is. She just forgot for a little while.

It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
