Put Your Dream to the Test

John Maxwell has created another indispensable book for you! If you haven’t read a book all year, this is the one. Warning, do not read it unless you are willing to attempt a phenomenon you probably haven’t tried since elementary school.

When was the last time you used your imagination? Remember playing make-believe when you were a child? I loved to set up a nursery in my bedroom. I opened every dresser, desk, and night stand drawer and created little baby beds in each one. I filled the drawers with soft blankets, bottles, and a doll. I played soft music on my orange and black record player, turned off the overhead light, and lit my yellow flower lamp that hung over my bead by a gold chain. I rocked, cuddled, and fed each baby. I changed diapers and read board books to each one. I would play for hours. Where have those days gone?

Albert Einstein said, “When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” What? Einstein’s imagination was more beneficial to him than his knowledge!

Before reading Maxwell’s book, dive into the deep waters of your imagination. Buried beneath the ocean of life, work, family, and stress is a treasure of imagination and an exclusive dream waiting to be uncovered. Can you see the dream? Don’t let the shark infested water keep you from pursuing it. Learn how to swim through life clearly focused on the dream God has placed in you by reading

"I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you & not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future," declares the Lord. Jeremiah 29:11
