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.

More quotes by Donald Miller
Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.
Donald Miller
If you buy the website, maybe you'll do something with it. But so far I haven't we'll see.
Donald Miller
Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
Donald Miller
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.
Donald Miller
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
Donald Miller
It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.
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.
Donald Miller
The most important thing that happens within Christian spirituality is when a person falls in love with Jesus.
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
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
I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.
Donald Miller
The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
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
And so I have come to understand that strength, inner strength, comes from receiving love as much as it comes from giving it.
Donald Miller
It is when people do not allow God to show up through them ... that the world collapses in on itself.
Donald Miller
I posted chapters online and let people give feedback, and I was surprised at how much of that feedback I actually used for the book.I posted chapters online and let people give feedback, and I was surprised at how much of that feedback I actually used for the book. It was a different process for me, but I liked it.
Donald Miller
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
I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.
Donald Miller
Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.
