I will rate the book 7 out of 10. I loved the self help part of the book. That was my favourite part. The religious part got a bit too much and I didn't quite like that cause it makes the book appealing to only Christians. I'll recommend the book to self help seekers and Christians.

I liked the author's message on our dreams, especially how we don't really find our dream because we're so used to being told by others what to do and think. However, I didn't agree with the author's many religious statements as it got preachy in tone. I would only recommend it to religious readers, as non-religious people will definitely not like this book.

[Saint Bruno]

This book deserves a four out of four rating for me. I think it's clear who the author's targeted audience is. So open-minded readers are welcome to read it if they so choose. I don't dislike anything about the book. And above all, the author's message of hope in fulfilling our dreams and purpose is my favorite aspect.

The author passed her message well, I give it a four out of four rating as this book really got through to me in finding my own dream.

It inspired me to find a way to make my dreams come true. I loved the practical exercises like the one at the end of lesson 21 on the importance of planning and dreaming, with the instruction to declare: "I will ________ no matter what." The idea of finding a synergy between the dream and the plan is empowering.

I had to do a lot of mental gymnastics while reading, though: the religious aspect wasn't a good fit for me. This isn't exceptionally well edited either. It's good, but not amazing because of those issues.

I would rate the book 3 out of 4 stars. I like the author's message about following our dreams and I believe we alone can make efforts to realize our dreams. What I didn't like about the book was the religious aspect.

I really like the concepts and the idea of dreaming big and doing things in your life that make you happy. It's unfortunate because I enjoyed a lot of the things written, but, it became too “sermonized” for me. The religious aspect got in the way of the deep thinking and self-help parts for me. This book seems like it is targeted more for people that have a strong faith and are comfortable with Christian beliefs. I applaud the author for putting his views out there and sharing. I would recommend this book but would also caution the reader of the religious content

Indeed it is a great book to help people realise their drrams. Although I think the religious part is overpowering, however, one cannot ignore its insipiring potential. It really deserve every star of its rating.

[Parahiyo]

This book deserves a 4 out of 4 stars. The book explains how we can achieve our goals and dreams. I liked that the author involved some personal stories. I would recommend this book to anyone. Everyone can benefit from it.

I definitely give the book a rating of four out of four because of the author's wonderful message. Despite some of its religious nature, it is great self-help book for those who need encouragement to never give up on their dreams.

[Sakura5]

I would rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I personally didn't like that it was so centered on religious precepts, that is why I wouldn't give it a perfect score. But I agree with the author's idea that most dreams die even before being given a chance to grown just out of fear. I like the idea that we should fear less and dare to dream bigger. I would definitely not recommend the book to non-Christian people, otherwise, I think it would be quite inspirational and useful to religious people or people who don't mind religious concepts.

[Hogwarts03]

I'd rate it 3 out of 4 stars as I really enjoyed the self help aspect of the book along with the push to never give up on goals and dreams. My only issue is that is specifically targeted towards Christians. I would definitely recommend it to any Christian friends.

[Precious Naiti]

This book deserves a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. The author delivers all his points in an engaging and relatable way. Anyone who is keen to turn their life around is guaranteed to benefit from this book. I love this book.

[Archaeoptery]

I do like the part where the author wishes to help others follow there on dream but there was to much Christian ways. I would recommend this to any christians who are looking for a self-help book thought.
