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 her 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.

in love with this book

Narration is excellent, knowing that it is by the author makes it that much more powerful for some reason. This story has inspired me in so many ways. My favourite quote I think is "If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation...If the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. "

I read it twice

This book is inspiring and helps me take a look at my own story, and what I can do it for myself, my family, and those around me.

Long drive thinking

Donald Miller’s narrative style might seem to evidence an attention deficit, but I think it’s really manifesting a gift of attention abundance. “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years” is like a long conversation with a road trip buddy (maybe ADD) about all of the things, where suddenly you’re tearing up or aha-ing or feeling changed and like you’ll never really see the same again going forward. It’s better than pop-psych or self-help—it’s like collective memoir about figuring out what it means to be human.

It’s also a great writing craft guidebook.

Did I mention I loved the experience? I do, especially Ch. 32.

Interesting

I originally purchased this book thinking it was the same author as Story Brand, it isn’t. However it’s still a very interesting book.
