This past weekend while I was in NC I picked up Donald Miller’s new book: To Own a Dragon. If you know me at all you know that I am a huge Miller fan. Some say that I have not business reading this book because I grew up with a father. While this is true, I say I have all of the business in the world reading this book. Yes the book is written by someone who grew up without a Earthly father, I feel that he also wrote the book for those of us that grew up not truly knowing our Heavenly Father. Or those of us that are currently seeking him out daily. When I was growing up I feel that I knew that God existed, but I was not quite sure that I really knew him, that is I did not have a close relationship with Him. It wasn’t until about 3 and ½ years ago, when I truly met my Heavenly father.
In this book Miller does a great job about describing his journey without an earthly Father, while seeking a relationship with His Heavenly Father. Miller teams up with John MacMurry who is a landscape photographer. Miller lived with John and his family for a few years in Oregon. Miller describes what he learned about families as well as life while living with John. I could talk for hours about this book and Miller, but I am not. So go pick up this book or anything from Miller.
