Donald Miller’s newest book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life chronicles his transformation from a man living a stalled life to one seeking and embracing adventure, even when the risks have been high. With his new outlook Miller hikes the Inca Trail, rides a bicycle from the Pacific to the Atlantic, experiences the highs and lows of falling in love, and seeks out the father he never knew. This book is a grand exhortation to choose a better life story than the one you’re living now.
All the vignettes in this book are woven around one central story. Miller is contacted by two filmmakers who want to turn his bestselling memoir Blue Like Jazz into a movie. Miller accepts and begins to work with these filmmakers as they develop a screenplay about Don, the fictionalized version of Miller. But not far into their work Miller realizes that the process is going to be much more personal than he’d originally imagined.

I’m one of the Thomas Nelson book review bloggers. Earlier this week they were looking for bloggers to review Donald Miller‘s upcoming book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Now, Donald Miller is one of my favorite contemporary authors. So I had already preordered the book. Months ago, actually. But I couldn’t resist being one of the first to have it.
I got my copies on Thursday afternoon. Wait, they sent me two?! The note included with the books suggested the second copy could be given away to one of my blog readers. I’ve never had a contest on my blog before. Sounds like a great idea!
