M. J. Miller
Hi. I’m M. J. Miller.
I’m a lover of God and an observer of life and creation.
Here’s a brief history of how we got here:
I joined Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in 1998, where I served in international missions for almost 10 years. In that time, I learned to live by God’s Kingdom principles and to look for Him in every area of my life, not just the traditional “religious” activities. When I moved to Middle Tennessee, I continued teaching classes and speaking to groups about the Kingdom of God.
Then, I started keeping bees…and writing.
Now, I’m the author of three books:
Life Lessons from the Hive, Life Lessons from a Rescue Dog, and Unexpected, A God Journey.
Then, I started painting…
My Books
Unexpected: A God Journey
Journey with me as I struggle with the call of God on my life and my adventures in missions, around the world and at home.
Life Lessons from a Rescue Dog
This book gives us entertaining dog stories any dog-lover can relate to while challenging us to live our lives using Biblical principles.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants (Psalm 116:15). Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds (John 12:24). And we know that...
Why Do I Write?
The nature of seeds is that once they’re planted, they germinate and grow. Many years ago, my friends, Scott and Sandi (who happened to be writers and editors) were visiting from Texas. Over dinner one night, Sandi said, “You...
