"God has put a driving passion in you to do something special...You are created in His image-the only person exactly like you in the universe. No one else can do your Dream." ~ Bruce Wilkinson, The Dream Giver, Page 75, Paragraph 5
God is our Dream Giver and He has deposited something very special inside everyone of us. He has give us a calling, giftings, talents, abilities, etc. that He has not given anyone else on this planet.
The realization I came to when studying this book was that I am the only one who can fulfill the vision or dream that God has given me and if I fail, then others will be affected as well. It made me realize that I have a lot of responsibility to fulfill the dreams and visions that God has given me.
Bruce Wilkerson becomes your dream coach through this book. He starts off with a parable of man called "Ordinary" who wants to be a "Somebody", but the ordinary way of life is holding him back, as well as bullies. The parable takes you through the thoughts and actions of the character to the end of accomplishing his dream. The dream at the end of the story may surprise you. I'll give you one hint...it isn't about you, it's about taking care of others.
I liked the questions that were scattered throughout this book and made every effort to write an answer them. Some of them are:
* What have I always been good at?
* What needs do I care about most?
* Who do I admire most?
* What makes me most fulfilled?
* What do I love doing most?
* What have I felt called to do?
There is only one criticism I have for this book is that it failed to provide a practical way of accomplished your dreams. I highly recommend a book called, "Mentored By A Millionaire", by Steven K. Scott and using a skill he provides in this book called "Vision Mapping". This is one of the greatest skills that I know for reaching your dreams. Otherwise, I was greatly encouraged by this book and I think it is required reading for those who want advice about the tug that God has put on your heart - Your Dream.
