Find a need… We need great stories to inspire us, and this is certainly one of them. From crusade tents to “Johnny Cash and The World’s Biggest Sunday School” to 400,000 at an evangelistic event in Bangalore, India, to Dream Centers being established all over the world, Tommy Barnett has seen God do amazing things. Tommy’s God-given passion is to find a need and fill it, find a hurt and heal it. In this book, he looks back over a lifetime of walking with God, being directed by the Spirit, and boldly taking risks to reach more people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Along the way, he has built great churches and organizations to meet the crushing needs of broken people and restore those who have strayed far from God. Every moment of every day, Tommy has always been ready to share the love of Jesus. This is his amazing story.
“Throughout my life,” writes Tommy Barnett, “God has continually prodded and prompted me to ask, ‘What if?’” He continues, “Through all these years, ‘What if?’ has been quickly followed by ‘Why not?’ and then ‘Wow! God is doing amazing things.’” Barnett is Global Pastor of Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona, and founder of the Los Angeles Dream Center. What If? is the story of his life and ministry, and a reminder that the best way to learn how to lead is to observe how leaders live.
Book Reviewed Tommy Barnett, What If? My Story of Believing God for More … Always More (Birmingham, AL: ARC Resources, 2020).
I live around the corner from Dream City Church in Phoenix and never attended until last week. I have lived here for 30 years. This book not only talks of all Tommy Barnett accomplished but has inspired me as I'm sure it has inspired everyone who has read it. We need more books like this in the world. I love you Pastor Barnett and all u have done.
Just a very light reading. Everything that a humble but obedient preacher did to accomplish the impossible task God put in his shoulder and how he delivered with a simple message: trust God and reach out for the loss, share His love are the key factors that gave his ministerial works a very successful results simply because he obeyed and anchored wholeheartedly his faith that God blesses those who abide in His promptings.
Tommy Barnett always writes from the heart. He has had an amazing life as a pastor and leader of a large Christian Church. I love his commitment and drive through life, never letting obstacles stand in his way. His humor and faith are powerful.
