A MUST!
I loved this book. I literally felt like it was written for me. It's brought me to a new point in my life and I truly believe that there is a plan for us. We need to step out of our comfort zones and go after our dream.

A Life-changing book!!!
This book forever changed my life! I always knew I was destined for greatness. Long ago, when I was a little girl, God planted a seed, a big dream for me to help many people in need and become an individual with a servant's heart. As life takes its toll on a person, we sometimes can forget our dream, or think we are not important enough to accomplish it. I was one of those individuals. But as I began to turn the pages of this incredible book, I remember the dream I had been given as a little girl... to become a great server to many. I now know how to accomplish this dream due to this amazing book!!! A MUST READ!

This book is AAAAAWWWEEESSSOOOMMMEEE!!!!!
If you find yourse0lf daydreaming about a bigger and better LIFE, then you don't need to hesitate to get this book. The Dream Giver spoke directly to my life. Because of this book, I decided to leave South Carolina and the life I've always known, my mom has always known and my Grandma had always known and, move to NYC to pursue my dreams. I have always drempt of becoming a model and owning my on enterprise as an entrepreneur, and by the power that God has put in me, I'm not going to stop until I am living my dream. I refuse to punch someone's clock or work in a plant my whole life like I saw my family memebers do. Since I don't read a lot, at first I thought, Okay, how is a book going to be influential enough to change my life. But after I started reading and heard the voice of God speaking through the author, I was amazed at the way it impacted me. This is a book for everyone, young and old, believers and non believers. GET IT! You will truly be changed.

Awesome Book!!!!!!!
I was so encouraged by this book! I had already started on the journey for my dream, and this book helped me understand why I was having such a difficult time, even though God's peace has never left. I am so thankful to my good friend for giving this book to me. Everyone should read this book!

Headed toward our dream
This book was exactly what my husband and I needed to head toward the dream we feel God has given us. Yes there are border bullies and we are experiencing some of the wasteland but thanks to this wonderful book ..... we know what to expect and we just keep putting one foot in front of the other heading toward our dream which will encourage others and glorify God. I suggest every Nobody read this book.

My eyes and heart are opened for all that God has planned
WOW! This book has instigated several awesome conversations with people. People want to accomplish their dream, its those border bullies, and the wasteland that make going forward so hard. This book has inspired me and my family so much that we started our dream-we are building a company that will fund missionaries and seminary students who need financial assistance. We are also in the process of building a new urgent care in our growing rural community. We never would have started the process if Bruce had not encouraged us to move beyond the border. Furthermore, we started a new small group meeting and will be using the study series. We will be helping so many people accomplish their dream, we are very excited! Praise God, He is Good and His love endures forever!

'A Bit Disappointing...'
Although this work seemed to have a great idea going for it, I was a bit disappointed in the finished result. Dreams and goals are important to all of us, but life does not allow us to reach all our goals, nor would all our goals necessarily bring us success ( e.g., winning the lottery) if we achieved them. While I enjoyed the authors' use of characterization by way of description (can you say: Pilgrim's Progress'?), I would have enjoyed the lessons a bit more had they used actual Biblical characters, and their lives. If you enjoy such prompts which teach goal-setting, achieving success, dealing with hardships and other 'need to know' (and nice to know) principles for life--or want to give such to a graduate just starting out--this book pales in comparison to works such as 'With Joseph in the University of Adversity' (if you can find it!), or 'The Purpose Driven Life'.

Words of Hope & Courage in the midst of it all
When I came to Christ I asked Him what He wanted me to do with my life & He showed me in a dream. Ironically, it was a busines venture that I was about to call it quits on. But, understanding the revalation of what Christ endured for me I accepted His Vision for my life because when it is fufilled so many will have benefitted because I was faithful to Him. Now, 2 1/2 years later, the death of a parent, the loss of a child and the almost constant fear of rejection and disapproval, I asked Him to do whatever needs to be done within me & get it over with so His vision for my life in spiritual can become a reality in the natural.Can you say, 'Ouch!'? This book puts into words almost everything I have been experiencing and offers not only encouragement but solutions that are simple. Sometimes, we complicate things that are really as easy as 123 with our perfectionism ( like we could ever be perfect enough for God. That's what grace is for.) This book will help anyone whose heart aches for something more out of life but doesn't know where to start and once begun how to handle those things that threaten to crush you and your dreams. I love that this book is so simple yet so profound. I also am so greatful the author himself found the courage to pursue his dream in spite of his fears so that I could be inspired by his work. To God be the glory!I'm going to put this review wherever I can.

Wilkinson's Best Book Yet!
Bruce Wilkinson solidified himself as one of the greatest Bible teachers of our time. This book is clearly different and surprising. His use of a story section and then a teaching section was so effective. I have given copies of this book to over 10 people. All have concluded that they needed the push to go after the BIG dream that God has given to each of us.

Spiritual Journey
This book stongly encourages one to pursue hidden dreams and to perservere. It's about overcoming fears and achieving personal fulfillment. This book should come with a warning label, 'Reader will not be able to put this book down!'

'PRAYERS FOR THE WORKING MOM' Author Recommended
A radio DJ mailed this book to me on the day I resigned from a six figure income to launch www.workingmom.com (a ministry to introduce Working Moms to The Lord)...Bruce Wilkinson has been an incredible 'champion'. This is his best book so far, and the others where phenomenal. God has used this book to provide encouragement...when encouragement is sparse. I learned two invaluable things from this book...the first was I learned to expect 'Border bullies' (and he was right, they came out in full force) Second, that present difficulties (or wilderness experiences) are temporary, ultimately useful and above all, God is in control. Here's the bottom line: GET THIS BOOK for yourself or someone you love. You and those whose lives you touch will be blessed by it.

INSPIRING!
Bruce's book was totally inspiring for me! I am in the midst of my own WasteLand and this was just the story I needed to hear. Funny thing is I can also see a glimpse of my Promise Land and fellow Dreamers with a common Dream, beginning to surface around me. Kudos Bruce! I recently created a new personal logo about two weeks before getting this book for Xmas. My new logo had a whit feather in it...the Dream Giver is so faithful!

A Diagnosis and Treatment for 'being stuck' in life
As Ordinary 'catches' the dream and moves from comfort zone thru the wall of fear into wasteland heading thru the 'dreamscapes' of life he takes you with wherever he finds you on this journey. Then Bruce Wilkinson coaches you on by giving you insights, skills and motivation not to give up on what you were made to do. In sharing the book's idea with people they can immediately identify where they are in one of the 7 stages and now I know how to help them go forward. A great read a massive help for ordinary people who refuse to settle for a mediocre life.

ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE BEST
Without a doubt one of the most inspirational books today. An eye opener for anyone at any level or stage of life who has really never followed the dream(s) that lurk in one's heart. Should be a must for every student to help them find their way from the rocky sideroads to the true highway of life. If this doesn't, step by step, help anyone to realize their true wishes and dreams in order to fully enjoy life as God intended, then I don't know what will.
