Faith-Building Book

The book begins with what is described as the "Faith Arena" wherein big, beautiful, risky dreams originate with God. A true seeker, one who wants to discover meaning and purpose goes to the Creator to discover specific direction. He admonishes us to focus on what is possible, not on obstacles, adding, that problems are actually possibilities in disguise.Sales professionals can really appreciate the novel way he defines their field of endeavor. He says, "Successful selling is nothing more than communicating to people a truth they weren't aware of before." Imagine the implications. The person is trying to improve the potential client's life. That reality should lessen stress.Overcomers are reminded that every successful person, regardless of the arena in which he or she worked faced failure at some point. Success if the process of working through failure. Persistence is essential in doing so. Every expert was once an amateur. Every possibility thinker is an adventurer. Dr. Schuller get me excited. He is inspiring, a true motivator.He brings a clear awareness of the Bible verse, as a man thinketh in his heart so is he, but writing, "Your self-concept is the core of your personality." Another truth from the Bible of which we're reminded is that God plans and guides the circumstances and events in our lives long before we become aware of what's going on.One of the reasons I find his books, including this one, so practical is because he clearly shows how to apply teachings from the Bible in one's daily life. Dreams is a common topic he addresses and this book includes some very pertinent comments on dreams. He says, "The size of your faith in God alone will set the ceilings and boundaries to your dream." Couple dreaming and praying. Mull your dreams over with God. Listen. Test. Think. Seek. Read. Pray some more.
