A Million Miles in a Thousand Years, A Book Worth Reading.
I finished reading this book 30 seconds ago. I am moved by its stories. Donald Miller is a kind of writer that I will never be. That bothers me, like a kid who wants to throw away his air guitar after seeing a real rock star. But at the same time I am grateful that he wrote and that I get to read it. He writes things out loud that I try not to think in silence, and I admire him for it.
This is a book that looks at life and story, and the choices we have about what kind of story we live, and what kind of character we are in the story. This book makes me want to live differently, to step outside my world of ideas more often, and engage with the real story that’s going on with all the people around me.
You can buy A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Donald Miller, on Amazon and lots of other places. (That’s not an affiliate link. I’m not even close to going there.)
I don’t think everyone will like this book, but I did, and I think it’s a book worth reading.

Read this one awhile ago, but just posted a review on my blog. I agree – it’s definitely worth reading and much more worth applying to your life. Love the idea behind the book.
