| Review: Don Miller has a way with words. His story draws you in and paints a picture through the his descriptive eyes. As he is presented with the chance to make a film about his life, he realizes that his life is rather boring. He embarks on a crusade to tell a better story. From a trip to the top of the mountains in Peru to a bike ride across America, you’ll be drawn in and motivated to create your own powerful story. This book may change the way you look at life. If nothing else it may prompt you to turn off the TV and walk out the front door into adventure. Highly recommended. |

Quotation: “...in living a great story, we defy a dark force propagating what I believe to be a lie, that a human life is not worth living, that the story you have living within you is not worth living.”
Publisher’s Summary
Full of beautiful, heart-wrenching, and hilarious stories, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details one man’s opportunity to edit his life as if he were a character in a movie. Years after writing his best-selling memoir, Donald Miller went into a funk and spent months sleeping in and avoiding his publisher. One story had ended, and Don was unsure how to start another. But he gets rescued by two movie producers who want to make a movie based on his memoir. When they start fictionalizing Don’s life for film – changing a meandering memoir into a structured narrative – the real-life Don starts a journey to edit his actual life into a better story.
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years details that journey and challenges listeners to reconsider what they strive for in life. It shows how to get a second chance at life the first time around.
