I don't know who Donald Miller is, but the book description sounded interesting. Is it any good? Should I read his first book first?

I have not read his others ... I quite liked it. His prose-style is very honest and straightforward, and he communicates in a direct and approachable way without being preachy or condescending. The religious backdrop I don't connect with, but it is not important to "believe" in order to connect with his message. A quietly inspiring book.
