A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
Donald Miller
Have you ever reached that point in life where the place you just left is to far to return to and the place you are going is so far away you cannot even make it out. Donald Miller describes this as being in the middle of your story and he says this is the hardest part and should be because overcoming this part is what makes the overall story worth watching/reading. This idea of having a story worth watching or reading is the main theme of this book. Donald Miller has the opportunity to turn a memoir into a screenplay and while rewriting the memoir for screen he realizes that he needs a better story...therefore he sets out to make his story better.
Indirectly and with much subtlety Miller mentions that God sets up our story and we must live it. It will be scary and there will be times we will not understand where our story is going but if we push through this scary part we will see in the end that there is a great story there for us but we have to find it.
The book was very easy to read and had me laughing and then crying and then both at once. I would recommend this book and have already passed a copy on to others. 4 out of 5 starts from me.
