Dreaming with God: Secrets to Redesigning Your World Through God's Creative Flow [Paperback]

James W. Goll (Foreword), Bill Johnson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1, 2006

Forget about redesigning your living room or adding "curb appeal"-how about redesigning the world!

Author Bill Johnson reveals the secrets of using God's unlimited supply of everything to transform your family and community, your job or business, the nation and the world.

You were created to be a "design star" by using your unique:
* Imagination.
* Creativity.
* Wisdom.
* Dreams.

There are rooms in your world that need your special touch-your child's classroom; your coworker's office; your neighbor's heart.

There are regions in your world that need your inspiration - your community's poor; your state's policies; your nation's leaders.

God has given you a blank check to create a better world-just sign your name!

"No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you (John 15:15).

"Bill Johnson has captured one of the most important concepts in human development - how to dream the will of God. His inspiring and insightful presentation of the concept of "desire" and its role in human activity, creativity, wisdom and personal fulfillment is guaranteed to provide answers to the deep questions of the human heart. I highly recommend this book and hope everyone will read it." -- --Dr. Myles Munroe

This review is from: Dreaming with God: Secrets to Redesigning Your World Through God's Creative Flow (Paperback)

Bill Johnson does an amazing job in this book of casting God in a whole new light: not as a stuffy old sod who frowns on our creative dreams and passions, but rather as a cutting-edge genius who encourages them and even gives us the inspiration we need to be successful! If Heaven is the most creative realm imaginable, and it must be since God is the most creative being imaginable, then we can tap into that realm and bring real art, meaning, and solutions to earth for the culture around us.

If you are of the "emerging/missional" church movement, or if you are more in the charismatic/revival stream, or if you are just sick of going through the Christian motions and wondering why church life is so boring, then this book might just be the nudge you're looking for to start dreaming with God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why this Book is important in your spiritual growth., May 12, 2007

This review is from: Dreaming with God: Secrets to Redesigning Your World Through God's Creative Flow (Paperback)

Bill Johnson explains why allowing God's creative flow to work through you is so important. You don't have to be in a ministry or be a missionary to have God's creative flow working through you. In fact, it's just as important that God-inspired dreams are developed in Christians as they walk in all facets of society. And, that's what makes this book so special. Understanding that there are no limits with God when you're walking in His purposes.

I loved this book. More powerful insight from Bill Johnson. Practical thinking to blow lids off of our narrow dreaming. We serve a God of impossibilities and it is time to start thinking like Him! This book will help you do just that!
