Keep Your Dream Alive: Lessons from the Life of Joseph

by Erwin W. Lutzer

Everyone has a dream, a desire to accomplish some special purpose in their lifetime. Whether shattered or fulfilled;
whether small or large; whether past or present, dreams invite people to live life to its fullest. In these pages, readers will learn about the dreams of a young man who was rejected by his family, betrayed by his brothers, and sent to prison because he was falsely accused of attempted rape. And yet twenty years after his emotional roller coaster began, the dream he had as a teenager was fulfilled.

Through this engaging study of the life of Joseph, one of the most popular and beloved Bible characters, bestselling author Erwin W. Lutzer shows today’s Christians how to:
-embrace their dream as God-given and faith-filled
-understand how a dream can be shattered by sin
-nurture their dream and live it out
-handle the tests and trials along the way

Reviews

[Alex Yefetov]

A handbook of the Christian dreamer. Very Biblical, a vital reading for everyone who cares about his /her spiritual growth. A bit too simple but nice as every Erwin Lutzer's book is. Highly recommend.

Good

[Betsy]

Easy to read insights and applications to live the dream God has for you. Based on the life of Joseph, Jacob's favorite son, this book uncovers plans and purposes in circumstances that on the surface are bad and illustrates how God can use them for good if we put our trust in him.

[Todd Harrison]

Challenging book on the dreams/life of Joseph. Great read; helpful study.
