In this book Andrew examines why our youthful dreams die. Why do we lower our goals and accept the status quo and the mediocrity of life.


This book is for those people who want to keep dreaming BIG, how can you overcome the hurdles that get in the way? In his typical, matter of fact, direct Yorkshire way, Andrew brings a Christian clarity to many issues for those who have pursued their dreams only to find them disappear into despair.

The church has so often damped down people dreams, often misrepresenting scriptures especially when it comes to business and finances. Andrew encourages readers to step out in to their dreams, stop resenting what we don’t have, but step into the blessings that God has in store.

Recommendations


Andi Swift is an outstanding individual with a heart to see people achieve their highest goal. He is a young man awakened to kingdom possibility...
I highly recommend you reading this book! It will inspire and provoke you to not only find your dream but also outwork it.
Dreams are incredibly important... they are the fuel that ignite the heart to want to live beyond themselves, to achieve and burn bright. They are the thing that cause us to break through all kinds of challenges and difficulties. Without a dream I believe we are but mere shadows... But without a plan our dream remains just that - a dream... We need a plan to get it working, to get it moving...
In this book these are the things that Andi Swift explains to us so well. The finding and birthing of a dream and then becoming the kind of person that is able to fulfill the outworking of that dream both spiritually and naturally.
This is a great read for everyone! Awesome job Andi! 

- Mark Stevens. Abundant Life Church, Bradford


In the absence of focus, any path will do. In this excellent book Andi Swift invites the reader to plot their course and chart their progress based on God-given aspirational dreams and goals. Required reading for those who take their destiny seriously.
- John Glass. General Superintendent, Elim Pentecostal Churches

Andi has tapped into an idea that is rooted in Scripture and yet often overlooked. The idea is that we of all people can dream big dreams because we serve a great God who is working in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Thanks for the reminder Andi.
- Brian Brodersen. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, CA

Dreaming is something people have forgotten how to do - this book can inspire you to dream a fresh and grasp the truth that we all have a "blank page" waiting to be written upon with whatever we plan, dream and believe for in life. Go for your dream and never give up!
- Christian Allsworth. Lead Pastor NGC Belfast

 

The future belongs to the dreamer who has the passion to make it happen.
In this book, Andrew shows us the importance of having a dream and holding onto that dream until it comes into reality. As Christians, we should always have BIG dreams because we serve a BIG God. Living the dream in whatever God has called you to is one of the most important things in our lives.
This book gives some powerful insights and practical equipping in living this kind of life well done Andrew, keep dreaming!

- Gavin White. Senior Pastor: King's Church in Greater Manchester
