From Texas-
Keith Miller, a prolific Christian author, speaker, counselor and longtime Austinite, died Jan. 22 after a bout with cancer. He was 84.
Miller, who had degrees in theology, psychology and finance, published nearly two dozen books — many of them Christian bestsellers — beginning with "The Taste of New Wine: A Book About Life" in the mid-1960s. According to Miller's website, 2 million copies of that work are in print. His books have been translated into 25 languages.
Miller was known worldwide for what former American-Statesman religion columnist Eileen Flynn called "a fresh perspective on Christian spirituality."
"My job," Miller told Flynn, "is to help remove the blocks between you and God."
Early in his life, Miller worked in the oil business. Before he was 30, he had buried both his parents and a brother who died while serving in the Air Force. Another low period came in the mid-'70s when his first marriage ended. Emerging from that crisis galvanized his resolve to help others who were struggling with spirituality.
"I just wanted a chance to help people who, like me, had squandered God's love and gifts," Miller wrote.
