I first bought the DVD workship series, The Dream Giver, featuring Bruce Wilkinson before I read the book. Loved the DVDs! Very inspiring. More spiritual than religious. This book is a nice companion piece, but I highly recommend the DVD workshop, which is about 6 hours long. I found the DVDs to be much more compelling than the book. If you are looking for a jump start on bringing your dreams into reality and not allowing yourself to get derailed, this is the book for you. The Dream Giver is an easy read, not a long book, user friendly. Bruce Wilkinson takes you through the journey of how to move out of your comfort zone and embrace your dreams, come what may. He is reality based as far as addressing the obstacles everyone encounters on the trail of the Big Dream. Inspiring, uplifting, life changing.Read full review
This is a short & sweet version of a young boy named Ordinary who has a dream to someday make a difference. It tells about his trials and tribulations as he makes the journey out of the land of Ordinary into a new place where the Dream Weaver is calling him. I bought the book because I love the author and fell in love with the analogies that Wilkensen used to talk about things that anyone who has a dream faces in everyday life. I bought it because it was a recommended reading from another of his books, The Prayer of Jabez. The Dream Giver is an excellent book for anyone ready to move from their comfort zone into a new realm that God has planned for them.
Dream Giver is short, easy reading that prepares you for the journey of breaking into the unknown and making your life count for something bigger. We all dream of a life of value, more than just the daily grind. But we are so tied to the familiar. Making our lives count for more, requires us to break beyond the familiar and leave our comfort zone behind. The book identifies the fears within us that become stumbling blocks as well as people who love us who think they are doing us a favor by keeping us in the familiar "safe" rat race. The book was recommended to me and I was thrilled to find it on ebay. Whether you are wanting to dream big or you are someone who diminishes the dreams of others, I recommend this book for all ages!
This book is an easy read and very thought provoking. Definitely holds your interest with many unexpected twists and turns. I am up to Part 2. I have paused to reflect on the experiences. Can't wait to see how this journey impacts my future. A dear sister gave it to me. I bought 4 to blessed family and friends.

I am a retired educator. I was given a copy of this book by a friend. Once I had read it, I immediately added it to my list of positive resources. This book tells a positive, self motivating story to which anyone can relate. I'm a Muslim yet I'm able to give copies of this Christian book to many young people in search of direction. I would recommend it as a teaching tool for parents to give to their children.

If you are looking for an inspirational book you found it. Very short but you finish saying wow that was powerful. I picked it up at about 8:30 and just could not put it down, 2 1/2 hours later I was done. It is so good I can't wait to read it again. Not only is Bruce a great author, he writes some very inspirational kids books as well.
I loved this book because it is a book about one's life dream. It is a spiritual book with emphasis on God, the dream Giver. For over thirty years, I've had a dream to tell others about how you can reach that dream through God's grace and through his Son, Jesus Christ. This book encourages a person to follow that dream and to never quit. It is excellent reading and it is written in a form of an allegory. Not a quiter
If you've ever experienced a feeling of doubt about your dream, your purpose, or that you even have one, this book is for you. Backed by Christian doctrine, this book opens up your mind to a whole new way of thinking which can change your life, if you let it. It will reveal things about you that you didnt even know existed and will allow you to see that others are going through the same things you are. Leave the Land of Familiar and join us in the Promised Land!
