In his new book Dare to Dream, Mike Slaughter wants you (and me) to discern what our God-Sized Mission Statements are and he won't be content until our children and youth have one too!

Mike writes:

Each year when New Year's Day rolls around, many of us find ourselves setting goals or resolutions for the new year. Lose weight, be on time for work, hit the gym three times a week, reduce yelling at the kids by 25 percent weekly and never yell on Sundays—the list goes on. Those might all be worthwhile goals, but we seriously need to ask ourselves: Am I thinking too small? Am I living the "just get by" plan, or is there a greater God-dream that, if lived to the fullest, could permeate and inform every move I make?

Throughout this six-week study, Mike encourages, suggests, challenges, and prods us through daily readings and study questions to discover God's dream for our lives and ways to live it out. 

To plan a churchwide study the Preview Pack will save you money and includes:

• one of Mike's book Dare to Dream (used in your adult study groups)
• one of the youth study edition of Dare to Dream
• a copy of both the adult and youth DVD's to lead study groups
• a copy of the Children's Leader Guide (with reproducible handouts)
• and five copies of the Preview Book (use these to promote Dare to Dream to your congregation)

 A leader's guide for your adult study groups can be downloaded for free here.
