  <default_description>Bestselling author Bruce Wilkinson shows how to identify and overcome the obstacles that keep millions from living the life they were created for. He begins with a compelling modern-day parable about Ordinary, who dares to leave the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream. With the help of the Dream Giver, Ordinary begins the hardest and most rewarding journey of his life. Wilkinson gives readers practical, biblical keys to fulfilling their own dream, revealing that there's no limit to what God can accomplish when we choose to pursue the dreams He gives us for His honor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Are you living your dream&#8212; or just living your life? &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Welcome to a little story about a very big idea. This compelling modern-day parable tells the story of Ordinary, who dares to leave the Land of Familiar to pursue his Big Dream.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You, too, have been given a Big Dream. One that can change your life. One that the Dream Giver wants you to achieve. Does your Big Dream seem hopelessly out of reach? Are you waiting for something or someone to make your dream happen?  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then you&amp;rsquo;re ready for &lt;i&gt;The Dream Giver&lt;/i&gt;.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let Bruce Wilkinson show you how to rise above the ordinary, conquer your fears, and overcome the obstacles that keep you from living your Big Dream.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;You were made for this. Now it&amp;rsquo;s time to begin your journey. &lt;/i&gt;</default_description>
