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.

A Must Read

Not only was the book compelling, but it was made all the better by the fact the narrator read it and did a fabulous job!

Fabulous Book

This book combines extremely motivational inspiration with intriguing stories. I was sad to come to the end. Such a great combination!

Perhaps my favourite book, ever.

I have read/listened to this book at least a half dozen times, and cannot recall one other book where I have done that.

I have given it to several people and recommended it to many more. I later hear comments from them such as “life-changing“ and “what I needed, just in time for me.“

A wonderful mix of wisdom and whimsy. Well worth your time.

A book to make you stop and think!

At first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the book or not. I purchased it based on a few recommendations and this is one of those books that contains many hidden meanings and lessons. There were a few times when the narrator (the author) seemed dry in his delivery, (which is why I rated performance a 3) but overall the book's content made up for the delivery. I recommend the book for all of the life's nuggets. Create your own story and live life to its fullest!

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.
