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.

Brilliant

Love Donald Miller................very inspirational, has led to changes in my life. The way he shares his "story" and encourages us to consider our "story" was great. I need to find more from this guy.

Inspirational

Great book - engaging information on the elements of a good story and how they relate to ones own life with relatable anecdotes from his own experience. An easy and motivating read.

wonderfully written book

I love the book, the narrator and the passion behind it all. it was so revelatory

Inspired to write my own great story

So many great quotes & take aways. The reading was a bit slow and got on my nerves a at times, but I like that it is the author. It has had a tremendous influence over how I look at and live my life. I want to live a good story and that message and how to do that here are clear. The humor is enjoyable. He does a great job breaking down what it takes and providing examples in his and others' lives.

A normal guy telling an extraordinary story

I had never heard of Donald Miller prior to this book. I just happened to get it on an Audible sale, yet, I cannot say enough about it. I normally listen to a book once and I don't often recommend audiobooks to others. I already plan on listening to this again and I am hounding my husband to give it a listen.

I have tried to figure out what about this book really spoke to me. I think it is because the author, and narrator, is a normal guy. He is a normal guy that I am pretty sure I would like if I met him. He asks nothing extraordinary of me. He is not directly telling me how to be a better Christian, how to live a more fulfilling life, or telling me what my life is missing. He does use some scripture in the text, but it is not a primary focus. I am a Christian, but I do not enjoy reading or listening to anything "preachy." I think he is trying telling a great story with his life, with all of its ups and downs. And, it inspires me to want to write a good story for my own life.

Loved it!

Thought provoking! What story is your life telling? I appreciated the author's insight and connection to faith. Will listen to it again!

Fantastic

Once again, Donald Miller graces the world with words and perspectives that simply change the way a person sees life and their place in the world. I'm always a little sad when the end of the book arrives, wishing to hear more of the wonderful thoughts in Donald's mind. Worth the read/listen- 100%.

great story.

this an amazing book. it follows a man's journey through life and what it means to live.

Very fun!

This was a very fun and easy read. I enjoyed it the entire way through, and I love the meaning behind it.

So much to learn here…

One time through won’t get it. This will be on repeat, I suspect. Already purchased it for a birthday gift. It is not for everyone. It is great, though. for thinkers who want to make their story better.
