I’ve been a fan of Donald Miller ever since I first read Blue Like Jazz but this was the first time I’ve heard him speak. During this talk he threaded the elements of a great story with how our life can be a great story. The character has to sacrifice themselves for the good of other [...]

When Donald Miller agreed to adapt his bestselling Christian memoir Blue Like Jazz into a feature film, he discovered that even the life of a bestselling author is...pretty boring. This revelation sent Miller on a two-fold journey to learn how to craft a meaningful story for his script and for his life. The result? Blue Like Jazz the movie (coming out in late 2010) and A Million...

A good story [...]

I think Donald Miller has finally written a book to compete with the attention from his last hit, Blue Like Jazz . I realize he has written other books since, but none of them seemed to connect as well as Jazz did. Miller's latest, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life , is quite a read. It's a first person narrative about a guy who is offered...

... that we live through athletes: If our team wins there is this vicarious victory that we achieve. Donald Miller very briefly touches on this subject in one of his books. Ashamedly, I self identify with this vicarious-victory paradigm. Have you ever thought about this issue and perhaps addressing it in your writing? Moreover, the entire idea of competition seems at odds with the kingdom...
