Summary
"A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams" – John Barrymore
In this book Andrew examines why our youthful dreams die. Why do we lower our goals and accept the status quo and the mediocrity of life.
Do we measure success by the number of dreams we accomplish?
This book is for those people who want to keep dreaming BIG, how can you overcome the hurdles that get in the way? In his typical, matter of fact, direct Yorkshire way, Andrew brings a Christian clarity to many issues for those who have pursued their dreams only to find them disappear into despair.
The church has so often damped down people dreams, often misrepresenting scriptures especially when it comes to business and finances. Andrew encourages readers to step out in to their dreams, stop resenting what we don’t have, but step into the blessings that God has in store.

Andi Swift is a man eminently equipped to write about chasing and realising dreams, he's lived some of his already and has stayed positive and faith filled in the face of set backs as he has pursued others. Where dreams have become reality for Andi, it is not just the luck of the draw, it is because Andi has shaped the skills and attitudes that make for success in the natural and produce fruit in the spiritual. Whether it's in your work, the church or your family, life lived out of vision is always better than life lived by process and routine, but it also requires us to take deliberate steps, one at a time, perhaps reading this book and learning from Andi's experiences is one of your steps - Christen Forster.

Andy Swift is an outstanding individual with a heart to see people achieve their highest goal. He is a young man awakened to kingdom possibility...
I highly recommend you reading this book! It will inspire and provoke you to not only find your dream but also outwork it.
Dreams are incredibly important... they are the fuel that ignite the heart to want to live beyond themselves, to achieve and burn bright. They are the thing that cause us to break through all kinds of challenges and difficulties. Without a dream I believe we are but mere shadows... But without a plan our dream remains just that - a dream... We need a plan to get it working, to get it moving...
In this book these are the things that Andy Swift explains to us so well. The finding and birthing of a dream and then becoming the kind of person that is able to fulfill the outworking of that dream both spiritually and naturally.
This is a great read for everyone! Awesome job Andy! - Mark Stevens. Abundant Life Church, Bradford

Andi has tapped into an idea that is rooted in Scripture and yet often overlooked. The idea is that we of all people can dream big dreams because we serve a great God who is working in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Thanks for the reminder Andi. - Brian Brodersen.
