Why you should live in a great story… – (A Book Review)

Posted: December 21st, 2009 | Tags: , , , | 1 Comment »

Live a remarkable life. Live a life with epic and amazing scenes. Live a life that people would want to make a movie about… That is the main thought of this Donald Miller book – “A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.”

BUT, don’t do it to have some great small talk at a bar or your next interview. Don’t do it to impress a girl, and most of all, don’t do it so that you feel better about yourself.

Live a beautiful life so that you don’t miss out on the story that God is writing with your life. Don’t sit on the couch and miss the conversation he wants you to have with that certain someone. Don’t just watch a great movie but try to live it out.

In true Donald form, this book is inspiring, but I would hate for people to read it and miss the reason to live a great story. It is to Honor and Glorify God that we should read more and watch less TV; and travel more and sit at home less; invest in people more and play less video games.

If you do it for yourself, then it isn’t honorable. Just selfish…
