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.

Delightful!

As a new author, this book is invaluable! I’d love to leave my driveway, head to his connected driveway, and chat for hours over a bottle of red wine. Very inspiring!

Through provoking.

Excellent easy listen. Loads to unpack and much time spent self reflecting. Now time to continue creating my own story.

This book is worth reading more than once.

I told my husband that this book was making me want to change my life as I was reading it and he asked me "How do you want to change your life?" I answered that no, my life is wonderful, and my goals haven't changed, but the way I live it all could be made better. In the end, I didn't have words for it. But whatever this feeling is, it's good. The book is full of gems and I was writing them down as I read. Uplifting is the right word for it, I think.

Really makes you think about your life story

Great listen! This book really made me consider what story is my life writing. What will be the stories others share about me when I am no longer around. This is not a religious book. Enjoy it and see if it gets you thinking.

very unique

struggle to listen to at first, truly enjoyed and will listen to it a couple more times. The story viewpoint was motivating/inspiring to me. Healthy reminder to always look for progression and enjoy the ups and downs within the path.

Inspiring and thought provoking

It was wonderful. Best to be preceded with Blue Like Jazz and followed with Love Does, Bob Goff.

Fantastic Story Telling

It’s a fantastic book. I really appreciated his ability to tell the story, express his feeling and provide us with the things he learned on his journey. I also really enjoyed the concept of rewriting your story...
