Confession: If John Maxwell writes it, I read it. Through his books, Injoy Life Club, Maximum Impact, and special series, John Maxwell has served as a long-distance mentor who has been a huge contributor to my personal, professional, and ministry development. All of his books are great...but I have a new favorite...
Put Your Dream to the Test is a blueprint for dreamers. This book is a practical guide meant to assist in moving your dreams beyond the stage of conception to reality. The book asks the reader to put their dream through the grid of ten rigorous questions to see how well thought out a dream is so that it can actually be accomplished.
Put Your Dream to the Test is filled with great stories and practical steps, both mainstays of Maxwell's works. I found this book to be "uncomfortably refreshing."
Uncomfortable, because it reminds me that I must make my dreams happen by actually DOING something--too many of us miss the point of dreaming by waiting for our dreams to fall in our laps; our dreams will only become real when we take enough ownership of them to MAKE them happen!
Put Your Dream to the Test is also refreshing because each "test question" provides solid practical insights--not just into your dream, but into yourself! The "success stories" of dreamers woven into the chapters really hold your attention and reinforce the questions (my personal favorites were Michael Hyatt from Nelson Books and Kevin Myers from 12Stone Church).
