A bit of a newbie in regard to Donald Miller, heard of him for the very first time last April when I saw him speak at conference called Catalyst. But in a relatively short period, his writings have stirred me up, provoked me to good works if you will. There's a quality to his writing that draws you in, an invitation to slightly sarcastic, but better way of living.

The most influential author to me has been Richard J. Foster. 'Celebration of Discipline' and 'Freedom of Simplicity' are both profound yet make complete sense. And much like Donald Miller, invited me to a deeper way of living doesn't rely on manipulation or self righteousness to make their point.
