When we talk about the decline of the American family, I think we have to go back to the Industrial Revolution.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
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.

Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.

To be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people. That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.
Donald Miller
We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.
Donald Miller
I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it's enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.
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
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
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
Donald Miller
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

There are two types of men in this world--one is looking for a woman to make his life complete and the other is looking for a woman to join his complete life.
