The Book in three sentences<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To summarise Donald Miller\u2019s book is not an easy feat. It is a message packed into a story of sorts about life and the mistakes most of us do. While editing the story of his life for a movie script Miller learns about the process of telling a story and applies it to his own life.<\/p>\n

Impressions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The setup of this book is a new approach (to me) for a book. It starts out as a story but somehow transforms into another story within the first one. That second story is the one I can relate to, even though I am at a later stage in life as the author. It feels a bit as if you were told the story and it was narrated at the same time.<\/p>\n

How I discovered it<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I added this book on my \u201cto read\u201d list back in 2012. It was stuck there until I read about it on a blog last month. Usually when a book pops up like that more than one I pick it up asap. I believe in signs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who should read it<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I think this is a book that most people would like. It is a pleasant interesting read about life and why not every moment of our lives can be highlighted, but on the other hand to strive to create said highlights.<\/p>\n

How it impacted me<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I would say that the book has not finished impacting me or my life. I feel as if this one will have a long-lasting effect on me. After finishing the book I spend a couple of minutes thinking about my last month. I\u2019ve run a couple of dozen call-outs on the ambulance and fire truck, I have started and finished quite a few videos and photo projects and I spend a lot of time doing fun stuff with my kids and family in general. It was a great month, had I not read A Million Miles In A Thousand Years, I would not have done that and thus not have that feeling of joy and pride about the month before.<\/p>\n

Top 3 Quotes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was a tree in a story about a forest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLife is a pursuit of meaning itself, and that search for meaning provides the basis for a person\u00dfs motivation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA good storyteller doesn\u2019t just tell a better story, though. He invites other people into the story with him, giving them a better story too.\u201d<\/p>\n
