More quotes by Donald Miller
The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
Donald Miller
I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.
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.

Nothing is going to change in congo until you and i figure out what is wrong with the person inside the mirror
Donald Miller
I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
Donald Miller
Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.
Donald Miller
The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.
Donald Miller
If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.
Donald Miller
I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.

If I use the Bible to prove I am right, I have yet to be humbled by the beautiful truths of the Bible.

Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.

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.
Donald Miller
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.
Donald Miller
I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.
Donald Miller
Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself.
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.
Donald Miller
Right, but you know, what would any of us lose by losing our possessions. Maybe we would gain something, like relationships, like the beauty of good friends, intimacy, you know what I mean, man? Like we wouldn't be losing anything if we lost our stuff, we'd be gaining everything.
Donald Miller
The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
Donald Miller
Without a positive male role model in your life it is extremely difficult to become a man who benefits his family and benefits society.

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.
