Product Description
Living your dreams isn't easy. It takes persistence and tenacity, along with belief in yourself, God and the message He has given you. In this book, New York Times best-selling author Jentezen Franklin brings readers a powerful message of hope using examples from biblical characters who knew the power of grabbing hold of the dreams and visions God gave them and not letting go until they came to pass.

From the Inside Flap
The Power of an Unforgettable Dream

You are never more like God than when you're dreaming, because God is a dreamer from the beginning. His nature is in you, and that's why you can look at something that appears to be nothing and believe in it.

God wants you to realize your dreams--He is the one who gave them to you! Believe That You Can gives you the tools you need to break through your old ways of thinking and live your dreams.

Don't ever put limits on what God can do. Believe you can fulfill His call on your life. You can do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dream, A Vision, and A Passion, December 23, 2008

By	Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

New York Times best selling author, Jentezen Franklin, tells of the power of an unforgettable dream in "Believe That You Can." He writes with the same passion, zeal, and holy fire that he encourages his readers to pursue.

Biblical illustrations from the lives of Abraham, Moses, Joseph, and others illustrate and reflect how God's time and His purpose came to fruition. They claimed their vision, were faithful to their dream, recognized their destiny and moved into God's appointed place in His Kingdom harvest.

Other examples drawn from his own experiences and the lives of contemporary heroes of the faith reinforce the relevance of tenaciously moving toward the dream God gave them.

Jentezen Franklin exemplifies the power of words in his writing. He communicates a message of dreaming a specific vision, the process and stages of seeing that dream fulfilled.

At the end of each chapter is a quick review, often with suggestions for written assignments. These written exercises help the reader put into action the steps for maintaining their vision, their dream, and for pursuing their destiny. I found these suggestions particularly helpful in zeroing in on my own dream as it relates to fulfilling the destiny God has planned for me.

"Believe That You Can" is more than motivational and inspirational. It is anointed. This is a book for anyone who has ever had a "dream" and a primer for those yet to find their personal passion and vision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real World Application, October 20, 2008

By	A. Lewis "skychase" (Gainesville, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This is written by a guy that has put into practice everything he discusses in this book. Jentezen Franklin grew up the son of a pastor in a small church in rural North Carolina - a family of very modest means, but a Godly heritage. Through his life, he has learned how to bring the dreams God gives us to fruition - these are dreams that are always bigger than we can do ourselves, dreams that require great faith. If God has given you a passion, or even if you are seeking to discover His purposes for your life, I highly recommend you get this book. It is also very well written and will prove to be a great reference guide that you can go back to as you walk out the dream. Be Blessed in Jesus!
