Unlock Your Dream by Philip Wagner

   Everyone has a dream. There is no one who hasn’t a dream. We all strive for something.

   As a child it may be to be like our dad. We may wish to someday help others. Or make enough money to be able to finance a big project.

   We soon realize following a dream is hard work. Bur dreams are not unique to us. Everyone has one and that one dream may lead to another.

   Dreamers need others. We are not meant to dream in solitude. Our dreams for significance need someone else to cheer you on- to tell you you can make it.

   You don’t need someone to dowse your dream or add fear. The fear of duplicating the past is a great dream killer. But even with fear you need to know it cannot disqualify your dream.

   This book offers you encouragement. Each one of us has a purpose—an assignment to complete. Wagner acts as a cheerleader if you need one. But mostly, Wagner helps the reader to be able to help others make the dream they have a reality.

   It is written for the Christian who needs encouragement to keep on striving. But the general public would enjoy it also.

Chase The Lion by Mark Batterson

   How big is your dream? Or another question is: how large is your courage?

   Books cross my desk from time to time that expand the region of concepts. This is one of them.

   The point is we need to consider our approach to life. Will we play it safe or venture out and stretch? Will we stop fearing failure and dream big dreams which may scare us?

   Our dreams should push our faith and provide an opportunity for God to show up and show His power.   Most of the time we just act as though all the Christian life is about if getting up each morning and on Sunday we go to service and sit and listen to the sermon.

   Batterson suggests it is best lived as a life of dreams.

   This is not a text book. Rather it is a dream casting. In the 218 pages plus notes we are urged to think big. A change of pace + change of place = change of perspective. The outcome isn’t the issue. It is the obeying that is important.

    This is the book for those who need the encouragement to try new things. It will give you the fuel for your tank and the assurance you need that someone has your back.
