A short (133 pages), inspirational book written by Rick Warren for Zondervan Publishers. In Created to Dream*, Pastor Warren explains how God uses our goals and dreams to build our character. While the first part of the book moved a bit slow for me, the last half made up for it. There were a lot of takeaways, some I hope to share with other writers.
Pastor Warren uses abundant and appropriate Bible references throughout the book, which includes footnotes at the end. There is also a Q&A ‘study guide’ section.
WHAT Created to Dream NOT: A quick fix guide to achieving every dream come true.
WHAT Created to Dream IS: A motivational ‘handbook’ explaining how God works to build our character while we’re pursuing our God-given dreams. There are a lot of underline-worthy parts, and it’s a quick read.
One of the best summary lines in the book: “A great dream is a statement of faith.”
Recommended. Four and a half stars
