Once I started reading this book I could not put it down. It was the perfect blend of serious thought and interesting antidotes mixed in to make it an easy read. The author used psychology and Biblical references throughout the book. I also appreciated how Maxwell used examples of spiritual leaders and heroes in our society to prove his point. This made the book more personal.
The book starts with asking the reader if they have a dream. Then each chapter asks a challenge question in regard to that dream. The chapter then gives practical tips on how to determine if the answer to the question is honest. Each chapter moves the reader deeper into understanding his own dream and how to make it a reality.
While Maxwell hits hard to challenge the dreamer to be practical he also gives a lot of room for hope and growth during the process. Maxwell has a good balance between teaching reality and accepting our own strengths/talents and yet guiding the dreamer to go beyond their comfort zone to find an enriched life.
The difference with this book and other "self-help" books I have read is that Maxwell's book offered step by step guidance that made sense. His points were ones that anyone could follow no matter what their dream was.
I received this book for free from the publishers through booksneeze.com and I was not required to write a positive review.
