Your BIG Dream

This is a post I did at A Community Chaplain blog

Do you have a dream that is laying around gathering dust? A dream that life has snuffed out? I want to recommend several books for you to read that will help you dust off that dream and get new fire under it.

"Dare to Desire" by John Eldredge. In this 136 page book John makes the following statements:

"The question is not dare we desire but dare we not desire?"

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

"The Dream Giver" by Bruce Wilkinson. Bruce covers a story about "Ordinary" and how he sets off in pursue of his Big Dream. Bruce will show you how to rise above the ordinary, conquer your fears, and overcome the obstacles that keep you from living your Big Dream.

"The Go Getter" by Peter B. Kyne. This is a story that tells you how to be one.

"Lessons from a Dream Maker" by Joe Land and Bill Perkins. This book contains Ten Proven Steps that will Turn Your Dreams into Reality.

"Your Road Map for Success" by John Maxwell. "The definition of success isn't the same for any two people... The process, however, is the same for everyone... Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others... When you see success as a journey,you'll never have the problem trying to arrive at an elusive final destination." - John Maxwell

Each of these books are tools that can help you discover, develop, pursue and achieve your dream.

Bruce Wilkinson asks this of each of us: "Are you living your dream or just living your life?"

I personally believe, as the above men do, that God has placed in your heart a dream. A BIG Dream that is based on your personal experiences, your gifts, and your talents. Your dream is not meant for you but for the Glory of God who gave it to you. 

I encourage you to purchase and read any one of the books above to help you unravel the dream that hides within your heart.
