Don Miller tells us stories from his life while introducing lessons and insights he has gained. The focal point of the book is the concept that people ought to see their lives through the framework of story. Consider building your character the same way a fiction author would develop a main character. Shift your view of challenges from show-stopping events, to negative turns on your Hero's Journey. This hardly covers what Don brings to the table.

I cannot adequately express how much I loved this book. It will remain in my library for years and I plan to lend it out as often as possible.

Finally, Don does not stray away from, or avoid, God in his analysis of life. In fact, he embraces God without being pushy or evangelical. It was the perfect nuance for the narrative arc and I am sold.
