More quotes by 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
It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.
Donald Miller
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't cute or neat. It was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. There was wonder in it and enchantment.
Donald Miller
God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.
Donald Miller
The ambitions we have will become the stories we live.
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.

But the people who took the bus didn't experience the city as we experienced the city. The pain made the city more beautiful. The story made us different characters than we would have been if we had skipped the story and showed up at the ending an easier way.
Donald Miller
Let's show up to life. Let's prove how beautiful it can really be. Let's face the conflict, redeem it, conquer it, and allow it to mold our character. Let's participate in what God is doing in the world.
Donald Miller
What I believe is not what I say I believe what I believe is what I do.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
Donald Miller
I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.
Donald Miller
There are things you cannot understand, and you must learn to live with this. Not only must you learn to live with this, you must learn to enjoy this.
Donald Miller
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.
Donald Miller
I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.
Donald Miller
It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.
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.
