A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

Donald Miller is back with a new one, and I've got to say as good as blue like jazz was, I like his latest musings even more. 

Miller explorers the power of stories as he journeys through making a movie based on his life.  The primary premise of the book was that a story is 'a character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it'. 

The stories we believe or tell ourselves drastically change the world in which we live. 

This book would be great for anyone who's a communicator and understanding the techniques that make a powerful story. 

But the most important take away that Miller hammers really well at, is it's not a bad thing to be able to tell great stories, but what's even better is living out an even greater story.  Best of all, there's an even greater story every one of us is already a part of.

This is a great book. A book that's fun to read and pulled me in and whose pages flew by. A book that cracked me up and brought tears to my eyes. A book that challenged and inspired. It sounds overly dramatic and just a tad hyperbolic, but I'll look at life (and hopefully live life) a bit differently as a result of this read.
