About This Book
Like Richard Bach's 1970 classic, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, this little guide
by the bestselling author of the Prayer of Jabez franchise is a story about
pursuing one's dreams. But it aims to be a "practical and innovative guide to
achieving your Big Dream" as well. The first part of Wilkinson's slender book is
the fable of person searching for what's missing in his life. A "Nobody named
Ordinary who lived in the Land of Familiar," he decides, finally, to pursue his
higher calling; he encounters-and overcomes-many obstacles along the way. In the
second part of the book, Wilkinson plays the role of a Dream Coach, counseling
readers on how to achieve their own Big Dreams though facing their fears,
enduring hardships, surrendering to God and realizing their full potential.
Looking back to moments in the tale of Ordinary, Wilkinson reemphasizes and
reiterates the lessons learned by his everyman, employing personal anecdotes,
scripture and impassioned prose. The book speaks plainly of achieving lofty
goals and overcoming conflict, and the message of the parable may touch the
hearts of readers who need a spiritual push. But it may also strike some as
overly simplistic, since the tone veers towards childish at times ("We've all
seen how Bullies work. Remember, they react primarily because you have disturbed
their Comfort Zone. They feel threatened. They feel losing something
important-their security or routine, their assumptions about success. Maybe they
feel that they're losing you"). That said, those who need warm, enthusiastic
encouragement should find it here. -- From Publishers Weekly
