After writing a successful memoir, Donald Miller's life stalled. During what should have been the height of his success, he found himself unwilling to get out of bed, avoiding responsibility, even questioning the meaning of life. But when two movie producers proposed turning his memoir into a movie, he found himself launched into a new story filled with risk, possibility, beauty, and meaning. "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" chronicles Miller's rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story, to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll. Through heart-wrenching honesty and hilarious self-inspection, Donald Miller takes readers through the life that emerges when it turns from boring reality into meaningful narrative. Miller goes from sleeping all day to riding his bike across America, from living in romantic daydreams to fearful encounters with love, from wasting his money to founding a nonprofit with a passionate cause. Guided by a host of outlandish but very real characters, Miller shows us how to get a second chance at life the first time around. "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" is a rare celebration of the beauty of life.

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years continues Donald Miller's run of excellent books. His style is truly unique, a gifted author with a quirky sense of humour and brilliant insights. Anyone who has read and loved his books Blue Like Jazz, Searching for God Knows What and Through Painted Deserts will absolutely love this. Reading Donald Miller's books is like having a conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a long time, which is an art few authors have mastered.

I considered giving it four stars for that reason but Donald Miller is in a league of his own when it comes to Christian Authors and so it would be near impossible to give A Million Miles in a Thousand Years any less than 5 out of 5. Highly recommended.
