Dream Big, Think Small: Living an Extraordinary Life One Day at a Time

How do you build a life of significance? 

As pastor and writer Jeff Manion shares in Dream Big, Think Small, truly great lives are built on the foundation of a holy redundancy--a persistence and determination to move faithfully in the right direction.

  • The plan for extraordinary living for ordinary life. Big dreams are achievable through steady progress over time.
  • The motivation you need to stick with it for the long haul.
  • The tools necessary for passionate longevity. You can faithfully lead, serve and love others over a lifetime without sacrificing your passion.

So many believers want their lives to count, but they are impatient with the slow pace at which goodness grows. Many of us struggle to embrace the faithfulness required to show up day after day after day. In Dream Big, Think Small Manion helps to reveal the joy in the small, seemingly inconsequential actions you take every day. Ultimately, you will learn how small persistent steps lead to tremendous and lasting results. 

Filled with Manion's trademark inspiring stories and insightful biblical teaching, Dream Big, Think Small challenges you to explore the spiritual prescription of steady faithfulness. Following the principles of perseverance, intentionality, and discipline outlined in this book, you will see lasting and astonishing results in your spiritual health, within your marriage and family, in the quality of your work, and in a more authentic ability to honor God with your life.
