| Publisher Description: This book is not a biblical commentary or theological treatise of any sort. It's just a story. And it's far more than just another good story. Dream House was birthed after its author endured a severe trial that devastated his company and tested his trust in God's loving hand on his life. Looking bankruptcy in the face, he was reminded of the biblical promise that, "...He who has begun a good work in you will be faithful to complete it." The author pulled to the roadside and recorded his thoughts. Then, after returning to his office, he wrote it down, so he would never forget it, and now you are unlikely to forget it, yourself. Endorsement: "One of the greatest challenges of the Christian life is to give ourselves entirely to God and trust Him to build our lives and our characters exactly as He wants us to be, even if the process does not take the path that we would prefer. Through this short allegory, my good friend, Justa, has beautifully illustrated the challenges and victories of the 'construction project' each of us must undergo. As he shows, we cannot stop it. The work will go on one way or another. The only question is, will we join the crew and actually accelerate the project, or will we drag it out through ignorance, unbelief, or by trying to go on strike? I've done both at times, but I'm steadily learning how much better it is to give myself over completely to The Builder. I hope this book will inspire you to do the same." - Ken Sande, Founder and President, Relational Wisdom 360 |
