A million miles in a thousand years.



A million miles in a thousand years chronicles Miller’s rare opportunity to edit his life into a great story, to reinvent himself so nobody shrugs their shoulders when the credits roll. Through heart-wrenching honesty and hilarious self inspection, Donald Miller takes readers through the life that emerges when it turns from boring reality into a meaningful narrative.
Miller goes from sleeping all day to riding his bike across America, from living romantic daydreams to fearful encounters with true love, from wasting his money to founding a nonprofit with passionate cause. Guided by a host of outlandish by very real characters, Miller shows us how to get a second chance at life the first time around. A million miles in a thousand years is a rare celebration of the beauty of life.
