Publisher's summary

Start living the life of your dreams today with the help of this inspiring guidebook from the Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church as he shows how to stop delaying and start enjoying the life you have right now.

Everyone has dreams. Usually, they look like a set of achievements: a dream house, a dream job, a dream family, a dream vacation… However, in pursuing them, we often become disgruntled and disheartened as challenges, setbacks, and opposition come our way. We get stuck focusing on what we don’t have and where we want to be.

Nick Nilson, Associate Pastor at Lakewood Church, offers a different approach to overcome these challenges: a change of perspective. What if we stopped focusing on what we lack, and instead focused on what we do have, and the possibilities our life currently offers us? What would change if you truly believed that God was in the middle of your troubles, disappointment and heartache and actually working all things out for your good!? Imagine if your dream wasn’t a destination you chased, but a mindset you chose?

You Can Live the Dream outlines how readers can harness the power of perspective in every aspect of their lives. Recognizing that you don’t have to wait to live the dream, you can live your dream now.

“In You Can Live the Dream, Nick shows us that you don’t have to wait for circumstances to change before you start living the abundant life Jesus offers us all. This book will stir your faith, inspire you to live your purpose, and show you how to walk by faith and not by sight. This is a message of hope we all need right now.”
Christine Caine, Founder A21 & Propel Women
“Nick Nilson's debut book is for anyone who is ready to see your potential from God’s perspective. In our struggle we always have a choice — to give up or to break through our limitations. If you've been feeling stuck, and are ready to move forward, You Can Live The Dream is a great place to start.”
Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor of Elevation Church and New York Times best-selling author of Crash the Chatterbox, Greater, and (Un)Qualified.
“If you’re ready to stop living in self-doubt and start living your dream right now, this book is for you! Nick shows us how a simple shift in perspective can change everything, and how you don’t have to wait for some day far in the future to live your dream life, that day can be today! And in this book, he shows you how!”
Kamie Kern Lima, New York Times bestselling author, Believe IT & Founder, IT Cosmetics

Great Book to Move You Foward

What I love about this book is how Pastor Nick incorporated practicality with life experiences and stories and scripture. He gave such great analogies that really stuck with me and drove multiple points home.I think this is one of those books that qualifies as a great rut-busting book. this is a fantastic purchase for someone who's wanting to move forward beyond what they're experiencing now. In a fantastic book for someone that may be moving forward, but at the point of giving up.

Perfect

This book is perfect in so many ways.

I had the opportunity to talk for one hour on a Saturday evening (8/12) at a fellowship Campout which was a 3.5 hour drive each way. (I was suggested that I come up Friday afternoon, so I did)

I turned off the XM Radio - The Message and listed to your book. (I’m not a big reader)

There were so many stories that I needed to hear on the drive. How the Old Testament was weaved into the book is amazing.

I shared the book while having dinner with good friend & his wife with another buddy. The story of Lia. They said, we know that story. We read it to our children from the Kids Bible.

Your book is perfect for a man like me. I have listened to your book a couple times.

In this season, this book was perfect! I’ve been lost trying to understand why I’m at this place again. My faith the past 4 years hasn’t been stronger and marriage has crumbled.

Absolutely nothing happens in Gods world without God. I’m so happy that I saw your book release on a friends story which called me to download. The book is perfect!

Thank you Nick!

A springboard

Nilson hits the core issues that were stagnating my progress. I hope this helps those in the same place. I love driving and listening to podcasts and books for business and success. This is a great one. The author has an attention grabbing way of speaking, the vibe is very California chill, and the content is more than helpful- it’s got a propelling strength to it.
