Jeff Meyer gives a priceless and practical framework for taking your dream—perhaps the smoldering discontent or the itch you haven’t yet scratched—and turning it into a reality that serves the world, engages your gifts, and gladdens God’s heart.

Other people smother your dreams. The world conditions you to just fit in. Jeff helps you create time and space to dream.

Many of us are afraid to dream. This book is like a set of training wheels to get you started.

If you want to bring your dream into reality, the process Jeff lays out in The Dream Primer is a real gift. Perhaps the most important part of this gift is Jeff’s insight on fear. He writes, Failure does not stop dreams from becoming a reality; fear of failure does. . . This is precisely why we need to flip the script on fear. Not just neuter it, but harness its power.

Let Jeff help you flip the script on your fear so that the dream within you can begin benefiting the world.

Why not? is Jeff Meyer’s favorite question. He isn’t the first to ask it. But he’s one of the few who makes it not wistful but practical. Dream big isn’t an inspirational slogan; it’s an inspirational process. The Dream Primer will help you crystalize your dream so that you have to pursue it. Let him show you how little stands between you and the road not (yet) taken.

I wish I’d had this book earlier! Blessed at age seventy-nine with having earlier dreams fulfilled, I know I could have avoided many of the potholes I hit along the way if I’d read Jeff Meyer’s book The Dream Primer. I’m not sure how much time I have left, and I’m thankful to have this book to compress the process of achieving my current dreams.

If this book is anything, it is practical. It is a guide for a process of self-examination that is real, lived, down to earth, and crammed full of insight and encouragement. Once we are blessed to see our dreams fulfilled, we are different persons, at different places, with new dreams. Jeff shares the nuts and bolts needed to pursue the quest and make the inspiration come alive.
