God Sized Dreams – The Review

God Sized Dreams

She writes words of wisdom, weaving personal stories, life coaching, and Scripture together in ways that inspire, encourage, and give just enough of a push to send us over that first terrifying step toward our dreams.

She answered the completely desperate email of a broken mama who just lost a baby and didn’t think the world would ever be right again. She kindly allowed this mama to awkwardly introduce myself at Allume, and then remembered my name and invited me over for conversation when she saw me sitting alone. She held open the door to a team of 99 God Sized Dreamers and invited me in, and gave me the encouragement to take that first hard step. She believed in me.

Holley Gerth, author, life coach, and someone I am honored to have met in real life last year, has a marvelous new book out: “You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You.” You need to buy this book. You will feel like you’re sitting for coffee with a sweet friend, chatting about the dreams you’ve had since childhood. Or maybe I’m the only one who had a revelation that this thing I do? Blogging? It’s not too far from the dream I had as a little girl to grow up and be a writer.

Maybe that dream included a cute apartment in New York City and a closet of fabulous shoes and not life with a toddler in rural PA, but you know..most of it’s the same.

One of my favorite quotes from the book, because it really speaks to where I am right now. It has provided the perspective I need to keep pushing through, to work to glorify God where I am now so He can prepare my heart for where He’ll have me later. 

This book is beautiful. Flip through pages of text and stumble upon gorgeously designed notes of encouragement. 
Maybe you feel like God is calling you to do something that seems a little scary. A dream that you know can’t be accomplished by your skills alone. One that requires a leap of faith. You, my sweet friend, have a God Sized Dream. And through Holley’s book you will be encouraged:
You are chosen. 
You are called.
You are already on your way.
You are needed.
You are loved.
You’re going to make it.
Your dream is going to change the world.
Your dream will change you too. 
You’ll be glad you did it.
And…you’ll learn how to name your chihuahuas  Yep. Not explaining that one. Gotta go buy the book to figure it out {wink}
Available March 2013 at your favorite bookseller from Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group. I received this book for free from Revell in exchange for an honest review…but I would have bought it anyway 🙂
