She Dreams: Live the Life Your Were Created For By Tiffany Bluhm / Review & Giveaway









ABOUT THE BOOK

Every woman was born to dream--to live a life of beauty, passion, adventure, and purpose. No matter how big or how small they are, our dreams push us to become women of courage, grace, and grit. God in His goodness breathes new dreams within our hearts and revives the dreams that have died, inviting us to trust Him as we dream impossible dreams that only He can bring to pass--because God not only gives dreams; He fulfills them.

In this six-week study we will look at Moses' journey to live out the God-sized dream given to him, exposing the ancient wisdom and truth God offers for every woman with a dream beating in her heart. With timely truth and encouraging accounts of God's heart and hand in the life of Moses as well as in the lives of ordinary women, author Tiffany Bluhm will dare you to dream the impossible dreams the Lord is stirring in your heart, reclaim any broken dreams, and trust God for the victory. Throughout the study you will identify:

- The role of prayer as you grow into your dreams.
- The importance of obedience as you pursue what God has for you.
- Why your dreams are a blessing not only to you but also to others.
- How your failures can be a gift that help your dreams become a reality.
- The life-changing love, power, and wisdom of the Dream Giver.

Get ready to discover the role you are designed and destined to play as you partner with God for the impossible!
 

MY THOUGHTS.....

She Dreams: Live the Life You Were Created forShe Dreams: Live the Life You Were Created for by Tiffany Bluhm
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

'She dreams of rushing peace like a river, She dreams of the one and only Dream Giver.'

Near the beginning of She Dreams author Tiffany Bluhm shares these words from her She Dreams Declaration and then uses the next 208 pages to stress the value of living the life we were created for. She Dreams contains Bluhm's own personal experiences along with the stories of women, both past and present, to encourage us to search for more in our lives. She also explores the life of Moses and offers us insight about his life and how he accomplished 'big glorious dreams' by listening to and obeying God.

There are twelve chapters in this book that are filled with the theory that each and every person was born to dream but there are often emotions that hinder us: fear of failure and criticism from our family and peers. She also cautions us that we should never allow just anyone to shape our dreams. In her concluding paragraph Bluhm writes 'May we never settle for a counterfeit dream maker but listen and follow the one true Dream Giver, who calls us deeper, leads us, and proves faithful even when our backs are against the wall.' (p. 202)

I appreciate that Bluhm abundantly uses God's Word and that these scripture selections are displayed in boxes so that they are easily seen. Bluhm also gives us six pages of bibliographical references that will allow us to increase our understanding. And I laughed when I read this challenge that speaks to every age group: 'If you still have a pulse, then God is not done with you, even if you feel like He Is'. (p. x)

She Dreams is inspirational and encouraging and I can see it being used in a woman's Bible study group. I recommend it to all of the women who want to achieve more and follow God's Will.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Abingdon Press and was under no obligation to post a review.
