Do you feel like you’ve settled for a life less than you once desired? The good news: It’s not over!

It's Not Over is a book for anyone who has ever felt discouraged, detoured, or disappointed by the path of their life and who longs to dream big again.

"Whether you are overcoming a disappointment or simply dreaming big, this book will build your faith and inspire you to do more than you thought possible." (Craig Groeschel, pastor of Life.Church and New York Times best-selling author)

Pursuing a dream is essential to living a life with purpose. Yet we often bury our burning desires and dreams deep in our hearts because it seems as if there’s no way we can accomplish them.

In It’s Not Over, pastor Joshua Gagnon, founder of the Next Level Church network, reminds us that we were born to dream - and to dream big. In fact, our dreams have the power to shape our lives.

Join Joshua in discovering the answers to these questions and many more:

• How do you determine what your God-sized dreams are?
• How does dreaming help you discover your purpose?
• How do you overcome disappointment and find hope again?
• How do you pray bold prayers when you don’t feel like praying at all?

If you find yourself minimizing your dreams or feeling like you’re settling in your life, the good news is you have time! As long as you have breath in your lungs, God has a dream for you to chase. Start identifying your God-sized dreams today and take action towards achieving them. It’s what you were created for. And you can start today.

Accomplish your God sized dreams with this book.

I struggled for many years with believing the lie I couldn't make my dream come true because I never went college or because of a few mistakes in my past. There were times when I tried to let go of it because I didn't believe it was from God. Every disappointment that was shared from Pastor Josh happened to me. The difference is that he didnt give up and he continued to listen to the Holy Spirit. This book has encouraged me to dream again and to strengthen my relationship with God. Thank you Pastor Josh for not giving up. Your story is helping other people like me achieve the God sized dreams. Hopefully I get to meet you in person one day! - Tania Iris Barreto

Excellent Christian Faith Building

The focus of It's Not Over is not on self-motivation, otherwise known as Pulling Yourself Up From Your Bootstraps. Rather, Josh Gagnon explains that we need to rely upon the courage and strength of God which has been explicitly exhibited again and again in the characters in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. My "aha" moment is when Josh explained that the Holy Spirit IS THE POWER OF GOD and for us not to embrace our past disappointments and shortcomings but instead, embrace the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in each of us who are believers in Jesus Christ.

life changer

seriously I have never read a book so fast, one week! it was more than life changing. God had just given me the words to my God sized dreams the same week this book released. this book showed me that God is not going to place something huge on your heart and not bring you through it. He has a vision for your life and the author has seen it in his own life, and speaks to his experiences in the book.

Awesome book

This book was beyond words...it was
one of the best audibles I've listened too. it was put together so perfectly and every chapter was wonderful and inspiring.

Very inspiring and thought provoking

Through God’s good Grace and many years of very big dreams and hard work, I have managed to get through many difficult challenges. Now I find myself at a place of contentment. While it is wonderful to finally experience true peace and contentment, I realize that I haven’t been creating new dreams that will take me to the next stage of my journey.

This book was a wonderfully entertaining read, and at the same time, it made me think more about what God wants for me now that I have come through to the other side. I particularly enjoyed being reminded that just because God may guide us to a certain dream does not mean it will be easy. As a matter-of-fact, it will probably have challenges, and that’s ok. I loved this book and will probably listen to it a second time.

A just in time.e message!

Loved it. Didn't agree with one or two ideologies, but I cannot fault the primary message in this book. Excellent dilevery. God bless you Josh.

Amazing listen

Sound and content was very good I would recommend it to anyone who needs positive direction

Encouraging book.

This book was provoking and inspiring. It was easy to listen to with a good balance of thought, application, and personal stories.
There were small things that caused me pause from a biblical world view, but overall I would recommend this book to others.
I am encouraged and equipped to follow my own God Sized dream.

It what you think.

The book is essentially a five hour sermon meant to encourage you using Biblical examples to keep going when all seems lost and over. The author also uses some personal stories which are pretty bland. If you’re not fairly Christian, you may find this book to be a bit tedious. I’d been hoping for some psychological examples, references and encouragement. There’s too many references to church planting and being a follower of Christ. I have no problem with Jesus, but if you were raised in the church and left at some point due to dogmatic trauma, you may find this book to be triggering. The book also starts off using KFC as an example of success which is difficult to accept as they’re now one of the myriad companies contributing to heart disease and poor public health.

Greed and narcissism at its best

Don’t waste your time unless you want to support a greedy, money-hungry, self-serving individual. If I could have figured out how to post this with zero stars, I would have.
