Review: A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

millionmiles

Donald Miller’s Searching For God Knows What was one of the first books I read when I first started my journey of spiritual discovery several years ago. Since then I’ve bought, read, loved, recommended and loaned out every one of his books. So when his newest book finally started to take shape, you can imagine how I’d be scrambling to get my hands on one.

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years fits nicely with his other works. It’s another collection of thoughts and stories by Miller as he continues his own journey of spiritual discovery. In this book he takes you through some lessons he learned as he worked with a couple producers in developing a screenplay for his book Blue Like Jazz.

Along the road he learns some valuable lessons on story and how it relates to all of our lives. Just being able to appreciate Millers points of view and style of writing are enough for me to like this book, but this one more than the rest actually has me contemplating my own story, or stories, on an almost daily basis. And for that, it has been an invaluable read.

Beat me to the punch. I was going to post my thoughts on the book today since it’s now out in stores. :-p

I received it through Thomas Nelson as well (2 copies actually), and they requested everyone post their reviews today. I’ve had it in the que for awhile now.

I really love his writing style, and his willingness to learn and ask questions. I can relate really well to the Don Millers of the world. :)
