Социальные сети:

Donald Miller is an American author, public speaker, and entrepreneur best known for his New York Times bestselling memoir Blue Like Jazz, which explores faith and self-discovery. He is the CEO of StoryBrand, a marketing company, and has significantly influenced both Christian spirituality and business communication through his widely read books and frameworks.

Биография и Путь Автора

Donald Miller emerged from a challenging early life in Houston, Texas, marked by his parents' divorce and a sense of rootlessness, to become an acclaimed voice in both Christian spirituality and business communication. After leaving home at nineteen, Miller attended Reed College but did not finish, opting instead for a path defined by self-exploration and storytelling. This formative period catalyzed his journey as a writer, eventually leading to the publication of his first book, “Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance,” which chronicled a cross-country trip and set the introspective, narrative tone that would define his work.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are
-A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
quote
And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can’t go back to being normal; you can’t go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time

When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better
-A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
quote
People get stuck, thinking they are one kind of person, but they aren’t . . . The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were in February
-A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
quote
Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon
-Blue Like Jazz
quote
The most often repeated commandment in the Bible is ‘Do not fear.’ It’s in there over two hundred times. That means a couple of things, if you think about it. It means we are going to be afraid, and it means we shouldn’t let fear boss us around
-A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
quote
Shame causes us to hide, and the more we hide, the harder it is to be known to connect
-Scary Close
quote
The strongest character in a story isn’t the hero, it’s the guide
