Some tips that I got from this great book was the importance of strategic planning. The author spoke on how important strategic planning was and how simply deciding to do something or achieve somethin g was not enough but you had to plan the steps you were going to take to achieve your goals.

A topic I loved that the author wrote on was the part talking about positive thinking. I recently read a book by Norman Vincent Peale, the power of positive thinking and the author simply reinforced all the wise words I had heard there. He spoke of how important it was to constantly thinking good thoughts and keep yourself in a state of optimism so as to achieve your goals.

"Do away with distraction and discouragement." The author spoke on this and it resonated with me deeply. You have to throw away any bad habits that can distract you from your goal or anything you desire to achieve. You also have to surround yourself with people that support and uplift you so you never get discouraged.

All in all, it was a great book and I rate it 4 out of 4 stars as I can honestly say that it has added great value to my life and I'm better off for reading it. Great work by the author.

First, I didn't like the author put much about what Jesus said in bible. I knew the cost dream were highly expensive level if you dream big. Dream big or small was based on your own situation. Sometimes dream are failing not because of you but cause by environment and other issues. Most of the time the person can fail the dream by cause of impossibility in real life. So, the author wanted to give us the more questions but it only knew the less of everything. I must pay 3 out of 4. It was well written.

The author talked about hope and actualization of dreams and many more. These two got to me and the author used biblical facts to drive home his point. It was refreshing to read a self help book that has alot to offer.

I would rate this book an 7 out of 10. Even though the message is inspiring, it is based off the core Christian values. However, if one disregards the Bible verses that are highly used, one can appreciate that hope and positivity of one’s dreams, that the author helps to light within!

I enjoyed reading the book.
The writer's message were more than just hope but assurance and reality.
No Christians may consider the book a religious one, but I will recomend the book to all open hearted readers

Latest Review: The Vanished by Pejay Bradley

Post by Gabby S14 »

I had a lot of mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I thought it had some good, practical tips that I could see myself or others using. Going into it, I knew I was not in the target audience, so I was ready to read a guide written by a religious leader that I didn't see eye-to-eye with. Unfortunately, I felt that the religious angle was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think that if the author had included other resources to connect the book to a more general focus on spirituality (rather than pure Christian values), then it would have appealed more to me and other non-Christian readers. That being said, I do believe that readers from a Christian background will still find value in this self-help book.

In terms of my official rating, I had to give it one star. I would have given it two and said that the low rating was due to my distaste for it and not anything wrong with the book itself, but the staggering amount of typos and other errors I found while reading proved me wrong. It's a shame, but I do want to be honest in my review of the book's overall presentation.

I will rate the book 6/10. I like the part where the author spoke on our dreams but the religious aspect is not quite appealing to me. I thought it has some practical tips one could try or see other using

There was a particular exercise that stood with me and has held me make some decisions about my choices for the future. The author provided Venn diagram that I filled out with information about myself and at the end of this exercise I was fascinated with the outcome. I was quite pleased to discover my areas of strength and my areas of improvement. This is a great book and I definitely recommend it.

An accessible, inspired toolkit for those who feel stuck, or don't know where to start, in the pursuit of their dream. I especially like how you can read the chapters in whatever order fits your situation, and that the suggestions in each are achievable - you can practice many of them while you read; my favorite is "Meditate."

I think this book pretty good in the self-help department and personally did not mind that author chose to target more religious individuals however, I fear that it might deter non-religious folks somewhat. I think that using a more general narrative might attract more readers, but that is just my opinion.

We have dreams in life and reading a book telling you to dream big and releasing all your fears away and taking it into actions is a kind gesture an author can give to its readers. I would rate it 5/5 for this book who spreads positivity by writing!
