My Review of "Unlock Your Dreams"

Philip Wagner's Unlock Your Dreams: Discover the Adventure You Were Created For isn't a bad book -- it's just simply unremarkable for all of the hopes I had in picking it up.

As a whole, Unlock Your Dreams is strong on inspiration, but lacking in the practical aspects that I expect from a Christian book about vocation.  There's nothing here about actually discerning what God expects of our lives, and what God's dreams might be.  In that way, it's really more self-help than it is a Christian exploration of how we "discover the adventure" we're created for. 

Which adds up to my inability to finish the book.  While I made it through chapter 3 -- which really is a good chapter -- I simply couldn't find the energy or inspiration to make it much further. 

So I'll be happy to pass this book along to the local library, but it isn't a book I'll keep on my shelves.

I received a free copy of this book as part of the Blogging for Books program in exchange for my honest review here.
