Co-founder of the Outcry Worship Tour, Ryan Romeo, empowers you to live well in the present as you dream well about the future in this practical guide to doing the impossible. When it comes to pursuing our dreams, Ryan Romeo is convinced of two things. First, God knows where you come from. He knows about your past. He knows about the seemingly impossible situation you may find yourself in. And yet, he is even more committed to seeing your dream come to life than you are. The other thing Ryan has learned is this: Your daily habits bring about the reality of your calling. What you do today matters even when it doesn't feel like it. Especially when it doesn't feel like it. How you treat your current job, your current boss, and those around you matters. How you serve your leader's vision or your church's vision? That matters too. So as you pursue your calling, don't forget to keep your head in the clouds. Never let the worries, the fears, the "what-ifs?" in your heart dampen God's unique call on your life. At the same time, you need to keep your feet on the ground - to stay engaged and connected right where you are, so you don't miss out on the foundation God wants to build. How do you do that? That's what Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground is all about. Looking at examples from his own life and from others who have followed big dreams, Ryan shares three practical and powerful ways to: Lay the groundwork that will strengthen the dreamer (you!) for the task ahead. Overthrow the dream killers that try to sideline you. Take the first steps! It's time to become a steward of your dream. Are you ready? Stand firm. And then look up.

A true, fascinating, and inspirational life story that teaches; "Whatever the mind can see and believe, it can achieve."

There are things we encounter so often that we dont really give them much thought. But then someoneor somethingcomes along, and we are made to look at these things with a new appreciation and understanding. Poet Nannie Bell Wright will make you take a new look at the ordinary. Her book, Flow: A Medley of Poems (the something), is an interesting collection of poems that reflect things most of us feel and do every day. Many women (and men) lament over not having a relationship. Weve all had to say goodbye to someone we love. And there is the frustration of trying to find a tomato that actually tastes like a tomato. These are some of the diverse topics she covers in her poetry. The poems in Flow: A Medley of Poems contain words that speak, teach, preach, and heal. Wrights use of contrasts, such as hot and cold, encourages readers to think deeper about relationships of all kinds.
