Synopsis

Luke Barnett, the influential pastor of the 25,000-member Dream City Church in Arizona, has built his entire life and ministry around the book's message: God is the original dreamer and He wants His dreams for you to come true. Offering contemporary wisdom based on the Bible story of Joseph, The Dream Centered Life will inspire and challenge readers to ask God to plant a new dream in their hearts, to trust Him with a current dream, and to hold on to the dream through inevitable pit stops along the way. Written in an accessible, conversational style, the book focuses on biblical principles that reveal how dreams can reach fruition. The inclusion of real life stories and culturally relevant references will appeal to modern-day believers at all levels of faith.
