A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller

When Donald Miller was approached by two filmmakers about making his New York Times Best Seller "Blue Like Jazz" into a movie, what he learned about the story of any character in a movie would alter the way he thought of his own life and the story he was choosing to live. Miller contends that like any good character, we are called to live the best possible story for ourselves and doing so means facing a lot of difficult times. "A character is revealed by what he does," after all.
"Blue Like Jazz" has been one of my favorite books since discovering it a few years ago, so my hopes were high for "A Million Miles." Every chapter, every page, every word was like water to my dehydrated spirit. I laughed because all of his stories could have been written just about me and I cried because all of his insights could have been directed just toward me. Through Miller's words, I came to discover that if I wanted a better life, all I had to do was try living one. In searching for the best story for his life, Miller frees us to find our own.
