A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

What I Learned While Editing My Life

De: Donald Miller

Narrado por: Donald Miller

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.

This book is worth reading more than once.

I told my husband that this book was making me want to change my life as I was reading it and he asked me "How do you want to change your life?" I answered that no, my life is wonderful, and my goals haven't changed, but the way I live it all could be made better. In the end, I didn't have words for it. But whatever this feeling is, it's good. The book is full of gems and I was writing them down as I read. Uplifting is the right word for it, I think.

Really makes you think about your life story

Great listen! This book really made me consider what story is my life writing. What will be the stories others share about me when I am no longer around. This is not a religious book. Enjoy it and see if it gets you thinking.

Love this book.

I will be listening to this book again. A lot of helpful and inspiring insight.

very unique

struggle to listen to at first, truly enjoyed and will listen to it a couple more times. The story viewpoint was motivating/inspiring to me. Healthy reminder to always look for progression and enjoy the ups and downs within the path.

Inspiring and thought provoking

It was wonderful. Best to be preceded with Blue Like Jazz and followed with Love Does, Bob Goff.

Fantastic Story Telling

It’s a fantastic book. I really appreciated his ability to tell the story, express his feeling and provide us with the things he learned on his journey. I also really enjoyed the concept of rewriting your story...

You won't ever regret buying it.

The book is not ordenary like the self help book junk and fluff.
it's real and got me thinking about my whole life.
All I think about now is how to make a better story.

Has Changed My Life!

I have read or listened to this book multiple times, and every time it challenges me to make radical changes to live an even better story. It's given me the courage to change jobs, move across the country to places I didn't know anyone, and helped me continue forward in times I wanted to give up. I owe Donald, and my friend Michelle who gave me my first copy, so much for this epic story I am living. ❤

I LOVE THIS BOOK!

This book just ended and I’m fighting back tears, unsuccessfully. I don’t know exactly what drew me in; probably that it’s a really good story about living a really good story. I have recommended this to a young friend of mine who is struggling with suffering and wondering if God is good. In an unromantic and non-religious God-loving way, Miller answers this question. I’m going to start listening to this book again as soon as I jump in the car.

Living a Big Story!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. Donald had a unique way of communicating which inspires us to live a bigger story.
