Synopsis

"Chase your dreams and follow your heart, no matter the cost" is the call of the world today. The opposite extreme, often advised by well-meaning Christians, is to lay down all of our dreams and passions, avoiding all self-interest. One narrative says to follow a passion, and the other says to lay it down. Both claim to offer happiness and purpose on the other side. But what does the Bible say about dreams, goals, and passions? With compelling illustrations from Dianne Jago's unexpected journey in creating DeeplyRooted Magazine, along with thoughtful scriptural examples, Dianne shares an honest account of how God changed her plans and aligned them with his. As you listen to this book, you will be challenged to look upward instead of inward, seeing the God-given purpose of every Christian as the foundation of your "dreams". Scripture shapes a believer's pursuits and the gospel speaks to our passions. Instead of the one-size-fits-all formula for dream-chasing, A Holy Pursuit will help you identify whether it’s time to pursue, pause, or surrender a dream you hold.

I started reading this book on a plane flying home from a secular design conference - everything in me wanted to scream YES YES YES as I read for the entire flight from CA to PA & had truth in my face for 5 hours straight. In a day & age when we are taught to throw all caution aside & pursue our drea......more

Goodreads review by Darcy on March 10, 2020

All around us are messages to encourage and spur us on in our dreams. I am a huge dreamer by nature so I was always tuned into these messages. These messages can be great, but if not filtered through the gospel message, they can steer off course from what God truly desires for us and our dreams. We......more

Goodreads review by Cheryl on March 17, 2020

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this book because I've learned so much from Dianne's writing in the past--I just knew this would be a good one. And even so, it blew past my expectations. One nugget of truth after the other. I kept finding myself relating & reveling (& earmarking & underl......more
