Отрывок из книги
‘Brian Houston is a dear friend who knows what God can do in your life when you surrender all. There Is More will help you learn to live a fulfilled life by trusting God to take control. I challenge you to allow this book to impact your life.’

Dreaming can be a lonely place. If you’re going to dream things that will set you apart, sometimes the people who are closest to you and know you best will be the very ones who are threatened by the trajectory of your life and will oppose you, try to squash your dreams, and bring you down to size. So, if you are going to be a dreamer, understand that it can be a lonely road. You are going to need to hold fast to your convictions and hold firm to the Word of God and the desires of your heart, despite the criticism or accolades you receive along the way.
What it comes down to is that you have an enemy who would love to kill your dream with all sorts of “realities,” such as opposition or lack of resources. Often the negative voices of other people, or even the wrong ambition in your own heart, can suffocate your dreams. Sometimes along the path toward your dreams, you have to make choices and sacrifices that feel like backward movement instead of forward motion.
