  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;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 he were a character in a movie.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Years after writing a 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. &lt;em&gt;A Million Miles in a Thousand Years&lt;/em&gt; details that journey and challenges readers to reconsider what they strive for in life. It shows how to get a second chance at life the first time around.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[In a nutshell: &quot;one-hit wonder&quot; author comes to grips with his life's unremarkability, sets out to take more &quot;risks,&quot; cracks self-deprecating jokes along the way. It's a quick read, and its humble insights are worth the minimal effort it takes to get through its bite-size chapter...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76893423">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is Donald Miller at his finest.  It reminded me a lot of &quot;Blue Like Jazz,&quot; or at least it read more like that than some of his other books had.  In this book, Miller explores the power of story, not just to entertain us, but to direct our lives.  Full of dry wit and his trademark voic...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74068711">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mostly this gets 4 stars because it's a Donald Miller book.  This work doesn't contain any ground shaking revelations (at least not to my experience) but it was entertaining and comforting to know that someone else is on the same page of seeing life as a story that we're living.<br/><br/>The writi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73516993">more...</a>]]></body>

It challenged me and caused me to ask myself some revealing questions.

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading this book, and it definitely inspired me to live a better story. At times the book is a bit self indulgent, and I had the feeling certain scenes were added/elaborated on.. just so a better movie could be made in the end. Yet there are a lot of great quotes, and much can be t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76585252">more...</a>]]></body>
