Summary:Â In his debut book, viral content creator Ryan Miller brings a mix of nuanced insight and sledgehammer biblical truth as he reveals the lost Christian virtue that will radically change your life and how you follow Jesus.
Meekness. It’s a word that we think of as timid, quiet, or weak―someone who shies away from battle. But we have it all wrong. Meekness is like the wild mustang―powerful and strong, capable of striking fear into its challengers, but made gentle by the power of the Holy Spirit. It’s a character quality that exhibits strength under control and is submitted to the will of Jesus. And it’s essential in discovering your own God-given purpose.
In Meek as a Mustang, Ryan Miller turns a concept you thought you knew upside down and shows how the world is starving for a countercultural, biblical message. A life marked by meekness is:
- risk-taking, bold, adventurous, and all-in enough to answer the call of discipleship
- fully trusting in God as leader, ready to be in tune with even the slightest nudge of the reins
- a redemption story, as Jesus tames the wild mustang into the warhorse and molds the seemingly irredeemable into someone purposeful for his kingdom
If you want to find rest for your restless soul, and transformational purpose for the ways God created you, you’ll find it right where Jesus promises it: his heart of meekness.
Reviews:
There’s a prophetic edge to Ryan Miller’s voice for our present age. His words are honest, timely, loving, confronting, and deeply needed.Megan Fate Marshman, author of Relaxed, speaker, teaching pastor at Willow Creek Community Church
Our culture trains us to equate strength with self-assertion, but the gospel tells a different story. In Meek as a Mustang, Ryan Miller exposes that illusion and offers a far more compelling vision―one where true strength is not something we prove, but something we yield. This is a timely call back to the kind of power that defined the life of Jesus―and the kind that, if embraced, will not just reshape our lives, but radically reorder what we believe strength really is.Colby F. Maier, founder of the Academy of the Bible
Meek as a Mustang is the book I’ve been waiting for someone to write. Ryan Miller doesn’t ask you to shrink. He doesn’t ask you to behave. He hands you a mirror and shows you that the fire you’ve been apologizing for your whole life is the very thing Jesus came for. Meekness isn’t weakness; it’s a wild heart that has finally found its leader. Meek as a Mustang recovers a word the church has fumbled for generations and gives meekness back the muscle Jesus put on it. Read this if you’ve ever been told your fire was the problem. It’s not. It’s just been waiting on the right master.Jacob Coyne, founder of Stay Here, author of The Secret Life of Christians
Ryan Miller is a rare voice today. He is tender enough to reach the wounded and bold enough to tell the truth. In Meek as a Mustang, he takes a word the church has domesticated into passivity and restores it to its full, dangerous, biblical weight. In a cultural moment when cancel culture has replaced conviction and cutting people off has replaced reconciliation, Ryan’s reframe is nothing short of prophetic. He recovers what the church has forgotten: Meekness is not the absence of strength; it is strength on its knees.Grant Skeldon, Next Gen Director for THINQ, author of The Passion Generation
If you’ve been told to settle down, calm down, or shrink yourself to fit . . . read this. Ryan gives language to a kind of strength the church desperately needs more of and the world is starving for.Amanda Pittman, founder of Confident Woman Co.
