Donald Miller was down on his luck. The success he achieved by writing the elusive best seller did not bring the happiness he desired. Donald was avoiding life. He simply could not face the music. Eventually with the help of a few friends and a couple of movie producers Miller realizes that life or your "story" is what you make it. However, instead of facing the music, Miller embraces it.

This book was an amazing reading experience for me. Every once in awhile a book comes along that makes you re-examine yourself. This was the book for me. Miller puts his heart out on a limb throughout the book. Good stories don't always have happy endings but Miller reinforces the fact that its the journey not the destination that is most important.

This book is a must in any library. I highly reccommend this to everyone.

Tons worth of philisophical tidbits that I found thought provoking, mind blowing and, for lack of a more articulate way of putting it, made me think, hmmm.

I personally Loved this book and have read it twice.

This book is fantastic. This book follows up Blue Like Jazz in a sense, since any of the ideas in this book have to deal with what happened as a result of writing a movie counterpart. A MUST READ for fans of Don Miller or Christian Nonfiction.

How the author uses story to engage with 'life'. He talks about his story and the story of others. Its an accessible and thoughtful book with lots of insights that are both engaging and real. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

It took me awhile to get into this book, and if it hadn't been so highly recommended to me by friends, I'm not sure I would have even finished it. About halfway through, the author finally gets around to the point, and you feel like you are getting somewhere. Overall, it was a decent book and I did glean some wisdom from it, but I wouldn't classify it as a "must-read" or anything.
