Dream Thieves

by Rick Renner

The Path From Dream to Fulfillment Seldom Follows a Straight Line

Doubt, fear, and time can claw away at your confidence, stealing the dream God placed in your heart. Unexpected obstacles, with about-face twists and turns, can bump you so far off your expected path that you begin to question the validity of that dream. You may even be tempted to give up hope that you can ever become the person you see when you close your eyes.

But if you yield to the pressure of these dream thieves to abandon your dream, you will forfeit your unique destiny. Furthermore, you will rob yourself of the fulfillment that only your destiny can bring.

Every Dream Is Targeted by a Thief. Are You on Guard?

In his revised and updated classic, Dream Thieves, Rick Renner exposes the thieves that come to oppose and rob every single dream no matter how big or how small that dream may be. Rick also reveals the strategies that every person with a dream must adopt to ensure the fulfillment of his or her dream.

Rick explains that every God-given dream has a significant purpose, leading ultimately to a specific destination. That s why dream thieves show up early and repeatedly along your journey to shift your focus from opportunities to obstacles. Their goal is to overwhelm and intimidate you until you re either immobilized and stuck or moving in a direction that s ineffective. These thieves will challenge your call, doubt your dream, and question your capacity to deliver on the vision that consumes you until eventually the fire in your heart flickers and fades away.

Obstacles Can Become the Catalyst To Reach Your Goal!

But when you understand the significance of the journey toward your dream, you ll discover that a hindrance can actually further your progress. When you know how to respond to the dream thieves that oppose you to refute instead of run from them they can actually provide a service to help you become the person you need to be in order to fulfill your destiny.

You can you must fulfill your unique purpose in life by walking in your God-ordained calling. Too many abandoned dreams litter the road of life. Don t let your dream be one of them.

This book is such an inspiration, but even more a practical wisdom of application to take a person to their God-given destination! After only a few months I am now rereading this encouraging book. Go out and buy it, because if you are anything like me you will want to take notes in the margins and reference often in the future. Praise God for Rick Renner! Luke 6:38 blessings back to this mighty man of God, his family, and the ministry of helps surrounding him!!!!

Although this book follows the typical outline of most books about pursuing "dreams", Renner doesn't disappoint the reader with insight to the original Greek of the topical scriptures. DREAM THIEVES is a good book; it's informative and encouraging, especially if it's the first "dreamer" book for the reader. However, in my opinion, Renner is wordy in a few areas of the book and seems to repeat his points, specifically in the "Faith & Patience" chapter.

This book encourages the reader. There are questions and fears that we need to deal with as we pursue our dreams. This is a second reading. The reread was stirred after watching a video teaching by the author based on this book

Not pie in the sky...

...but real biblical teaching. Renner tackles a subject in this book which has been misunderstood and misinterpreted for a long time. He makes no wild and crazy claims, but uses sound biblical instruction and personal examples to make his points come alive.

This book is full of wisdom. Recommended for all I really liked the chapters on A Biblical Patriarch worth Imitating and Sustaining Your Fire for the dream in Your Heart.
