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.

Great book... over too soon!

I truly enjoyed this book. I'm not certain what I expected coming in, I guess nothing because it was a blind recommendation. Not knowing what you're looking for or what books you enjoy, I would recommend it! It kept my attention and I could listen to it again. Plus, there are some gems in here, things that will make you nod your head in agreement and rewind to hear it again. That said, I listened at 1.3 speed, just a side note. Get the book, you will enjoy!

Interesting book

This was a good book, I thought it was going to be more about riding across the nation but it wasn't. His life is very interesting and hearing how to write scripts was good. I liked his book Scary Close better than this one. There is a lot of great advice in this book that is memorable.

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!
