A Million Miles in a Thousand Years

My reading at this moment includes Donald Miller's book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life. I was initially drawn to it when I read that both Anne Lamott and Max Lucado were avid fans. Donald Miller is an interesting non-fiction writer and has a quirky way of looking at his life. One of the jewels so far in Miller's book is the following idea: "A story is a character who wants something and overcomes conflict to get it." He challenges himself as well as his readers to answer in that context, "How good is my story." He peppers his thoughts throughout with Biblical references, but not the texts you might expect.
