Last night I began reading To Own A Dragon by Donald Miller. I had no intentions of reading this book. I knew he wrote it for guys who grew up without fathers so I didn’t think the book would apply to me. However, I saw it at Barnes and Noble yesterday and purchased the book with the motive of reading the only Miller book I’ve yet to read. I know, not a very good reason to read a book but looking back I’m so glad I did. I couldn’t put it down. I read late into the night and finished up when I got up this morning.
Miller’s refreshing honestly and transparency never disappoints. If you’re a fan of Don Miller’s other books then pick up To Own A Dragon. I would even say he is more authentic and transparent in this book then in any of his other books.
Some things I learned:
-”Somebody said that realizing we are broken is the beginning of healing.”
-”… wounds don’t heal until you feel them.”
-Insecurity drives me more than I want to fess up to.
-God places the lonely in families. Psalm 68:6
-You can learn a lot about life from playing chess.
-God is maturing me.
-Being a Wounded Healer is a dignified calling.

wow, that’s funny to see how you didn’t think much of it at first but end up getting this awesome and, helpful book. I cant believe you read it all in one day.
I just ordered Blue Like Jazz on Amazon. I am a decent reader but I have never read Donald Miller. I can imagine I won’t be disappointed. Thanks for sharing this good read with us.
Thx for the bk review. Ill check it out since you gave it good ratings. I tried reading UnChristian yesterday. P.U., it was boring…no likey : (
Her: Sorry you didn’t like unChristian. I know it’s a little dry (ok a lot dry). I guess I’m used to technical and statistical stuff. I promise you won’t be disappointed by this one though.
There is no bad/wrong reason for reading a book.
Stop by my blog. I have something for you.
“wounds don’t heal until you feel them”.
