Beschreibung

Two dreams live side by side in every heart. One says, build a better life. The other says, become a light. This book is an invitation to stop settling for the smaller one. Description Every generation inherits a dream. For millions who call America home, whether by birth or by a long and difficult journey across an ocean, that dream has a name, work hard, build a life, leave your children better off than you found them. It is a good dream, and this book honors it honestly. But Bishop Osei Tweneboah Koduah and Belinda Asante-Larbi believe there is a larger dream still waiting underneath it, the one God spoke over a discouraged nation in Isaiah 60. Arise. Shine. Let My glory rise upon you. Drawing on more than a decade of pastoral ministry to a congregation that includes both newly arrived immigrants and lifelong American families, the authors walk readers through both dreams with unflinching honesty, naming what the American Dream has genuinely given the world, and naming, just as honestly, where it quietly falls short. Through the stories of factory workers and business owners, immigrant nurses and fourth generation farmers, a rich fool who built bigger barns and emptier tables, and a Moabite widow whose faithfulness reached all the way into the lineage of Christ, this book traces a single question through fourteen chapters and a living case study: what happens when a person achieves every item on their own American Dream and still asks, is this all there is. The American Dream: Leading to the Divine Dream does not ask you to want less. It asks you to want the right things, in the right order, for the right reasons, and to discover that the dream God is offering is not smaller than the one you inherited. It is larger. In this book, you will discover Why hard work alone was never designed to guarantee the outcome, and what Scripture actually promises instead The four elements of biblically arising, and why some seasons of lying down are exhaustion rather than resignation How to shine with integrity in the ordinary sphere you already occupy, whether that is a hospital corridor, an auto repair bay, or a church basement The difference between wealth that quietly turns a person proud and wealth that keeps a person grateful Why opportunity sometimes comes looking for the faithful rather than requiring an exhausting chase, and why it sometimes does not Eight practical keys for living a Kingdom shaped life, illustrated through the real stories of immigrant and lifelong American believers alike A living case study, Kingdom Truth Press itself, showing what it looks like when an ordinary idea is surrendered to an extraordinary assignment Praise "It lifts the reader's eyes toward a higher horizon, the horizon of Isaiah 60, where a people arise, shine, and become a light to the nations.
