More quotes by 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.

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.

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
Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.

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.

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.

Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.
Donald Miller
One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?
Donald Miller
Every creative person, and I think probably every other person, faces resistance when they are trying to create something good...The harder the resistance, the more important the task must be.
Donald Miller
When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better.
Donald Miller
...she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.
Donald Miller
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
Fear isn’t only a guide to keep us safe it’s also a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life … the great stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.
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.

Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation.
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
The times in my life when I have been most happy haven't been the times when I have had the most money or the most freedom or the most anything, but rather when I've been in love or in community or right with people.
