Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, graduating witha Master of Divinity degree in

In 1959 he was married to Barbara Joyce

Harman. They are the parents of two children: Melanie, born February 22, 1962 and Timothy,

born July 30, 1963. His first full-time pastorate was Plattsmouth Baptist Church, Plattsmouth, Nebraska, 1961-1966.  He went to Westside Church, Omaha, Nebraska, in January 1966,
where he served as senior pastor for 25 years.  During his pastorate the congregation grew
from 10 members to more than 2500 members.  From 1991-1998, Miller served as Professor of Communication and Ministry Studies and
Writer-in-Residence at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft. Worth, Texas. 
In January 1999, he joined the faculty of
Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School
in Birmingham, Alabama, where he is currently Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministry.

He is the author of more than forty books of popular theology and inspiration.  His poems
and free-lance articles have appeared in
various journals and magazines such as
Christianity Today, Campus Life, Leadership,
and His.  He has served as an inspirational
speaker in various assemblies and religious convocations, both in his own denomination
and other Christian gatherings.

Dr. Miller believes in the primacy of evangelism
for the church in every age.  In his own church ministry he has sought to be both a
contemporary apologist, helping the church
provide answers for a secular culture, and the equipper of the contemporary church for the
task of missions and evangelism.  His most
recent books and articles have dealt with spirituality as a journey and the pilgrimage
which strives for union with Christ.
