The Power of An Unforgettable Dream
Jentezen Franklin, New York Times best selling author, shows how a dream, or vision, is nurtured when you "Believe That You Can." Franklin's writing models the passion, zeal, and holy fire that he challenges his readers to practice.
Illustrations from the lives of Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and others from the Old and New Testaments illustrate how God's timing and His purposes come to fruition. These men and women acknowledged their vision, were true to their dream, recognized their destiny and moved into God's appointed time and place to take part in His Kingdom harvest.
Jentezen uses examples drawn from his own experiences and stories from contemporary champions of the faith to reinforce the relevance of resolutely moving toward a God given dream.
Franklin exemplifies the authority of words in his writing. He communicates a message that calls for envisioning a specific dream, and then following the process and stages needed to see that dream fulfilled.
Each chapter includes a quick review. These summary statements or questions often include suggestions for written assignments. The written exercises guide the reader into formulating action steps for maintaining their vision, their dream, and for pursuing their destiny. I found these suggestions helpful in honing in on my own dream, asking God to fulfill the His destiny for me.
"Believe That You Can" is motivational and inspirational, however it is more that that. It is anointed. This is a book for dreamers, for visionaries, for the shy and for the bold. As the cover reads, "It's time to make it Happen! Moving with TENACITY toward the DREAM GOD has given you."
