Donald Miller - A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life

Praise for
A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

In his funny, self deprecating style, Donald Miller is sometimes painfully honest about his life unedited, his weaknesses and his faith . . . and thats all I ever choose to read.

If someone tells you theyve read this book and they enjoyed it or they liked it or they think its a good book then maybe they didnt read itits well written and funny and interesting and all that, but its also disturbing. Really, really disturbing. Don is into provocative territory here, wrestling with The Story and the role each our stories play in it . . . this is very convicting, powerful, unsettling writing. I felt like this book read me more than I read it.

Rob Bell,
Author of Velvet Elvis

Ive never been in Donald Millers living room, but this book makes me feel that I have. The stories compel, the humor works, and Dons wisdom stealths its way on to the pages. I already want to re-read it.

Sly, soulful, and deeply affecting, Donald Millers A Million Miles ina Thousand Yearsis an indispensable road map and travel companion for readers seeking not only to experience better stories but to live them as well.

Only Donald Miller can mill the glorious wreckage of the human experience for the hue of jazz and the hope that we can live out a story worth sharing. His premise will haunt you until you set out to discover if memorable lives, like unforgettable books, often require several drafts and a loving editor.

In the first few chapters of Dons new book, Don got me thinking about Don and his interesting life. Then for several chapters, he got me thinking about my own life. And then for the rest of the book, I couldnt help but think about God and other people and the kind of future were creating together. That sounds like solid evidence that this uniquely talented and sagely writer/thinker/storyteller has given us another wonderful and life-enriching reading experience.

There are some writers who simply dont have it in them to craft an inelegant sentence. Donald Miller is one of them. A Million Miles ina Thousand Yearsproves in story form how stories define us even more than our genes do. Read this book for an experience of sheer beauty, or for help in living a well-storied life.

Donald Miller writes, People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to actually live that story. He unpacks what that work looks like and how the story ends! I have great admiration for this storyteller and recommend his latest book with enthusiasm.

This book is an invitation. Were taken on a journeyover mountains and water and across America on a bicycle. We find love and pain along the way, we laugh and we mourn. Through it all, we are invited to live a better story.
