Resumen del Editor

James Van Der Beek narrates an unforgettable coming-of-age journey set during a transformational time—high school senior year. Packed with laughter, wonder, beauty, and heartbreak, this poignant audiobook based on a true story is a must-listen for fans of the classic movie Dead Poets Society.

Senior year was supposed to be the time of Colt's life, but when he meets Lucas Oliver, a college-aged vagabond with a mysterious past, Colt's life takes an unexpected turn.

Lucas mentors Colt and a group of eleven other senior guys, guiding them through a series of rites of passage over the course of the year. They are challenged by the power of sacred questions, courageous acts, and vulnerable authenticity, but the question remains: can Lucas be trusted with his unorthodox ideas about God, life, and death? Along the way, Colt's feelings for Noa—a "band dork" he has known for years, deepen as he falls for her bright green eyes and charming honesty.

As Colt and the group of young men explore the wonders, romance, and adventures of their senior year, they are confronted with an event that challenges everything they hold true.

Fantastic

Compelling story with an equally compelling narration. It was a delight to listen to. If you’re looking for a story to haunt you long after, you can find it here.

CARPE DIEM

An inspiring story performed by a talented voice actor. Highly recommended for both young men and their parents. CARPE DIEM!

Mesmerized by the voice and then quickly drawn into the story.

I honestly purchased this because of James Van Der Beeks voice and the trailer on his instagram page. His voice is amazing for audiobooks but I was also quickly intrigued by the short clip of storyline. I had no idea what the story was really even about but just started listening. I was sucked in to the story within minutes. I’m listening to it now for a second time. I definitely need to check out Craig Cunningham’s other books.

Beautiful language and powerful quotes

One Night in a Thousand Years was a beautifully written book that successfully captured the essence of being a teenage boy, about to graduate from high school and head out into the world who is unsure of life, love and what’s beyond.

Traveling back in time.

I could not stop listening to this book!! Each chapter ends with you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. This story was captivating and made me feel like I was traveling back in time to my own Senior year of high school. I felt like I knew each character personally and could identify with so many of their encounters, adventures, and questions about life they all wrestled with. Well done good and faithful servants for bringing this story to life! CARPE DIEM!!!

Youth Redirected for the Good!

A captivating listen and wonderful story!

An amazing coming of age story that really captures the feeling of figuring out your life’s meaning and purpose. It’s a very accurate, passionate and nostalgic book with great character development. I’ve read the book and now listened to the audiobook!

Loved

This was one of my most favorite books in recent months. I desperately wanted it to keep going but it also ended so perfectly I could hardly fault it. James VanDer Beek’s vocal performance was flawless and perfectly paired. I keep wishing every boy and man I know could be reading this, though as a woman in my 30’s, I so enjoyed this. 10/10 recommend!

A Truly Beautiful Story

This was an incredible and beautiful story. Poetry in narrative form read by a captivating narrator. Will definitely be reading this again. 

Complex, beautiful and haunting

I listened to the whole book in a single 24 hour period. The storytelling, pace of reading and depth of the story have been stuck in my head since I finished it. Couldn’t encourage more to make time for this book!
