Foreword To
SHATTERED DREAMS
by
Patrick Mead
Many of my own dreams have been shattered. Some of these
dreams have been somewhat unrealistic, while others have become shattered due
to the realities of life that happen to all people. Therefore, each of us needs
the ministry of God’s Word and the power of His Spirit to guide us through
these experiences.
Patrick Mead is a pastor of a local church. He walks daily with
people through their own challenges. He is not in a lofty tower away from the
needs of people, but has the daily challenge of applying God’s Word and Truth
to the lives of people, including people who have experienced shattered dreams.
In this small book, Patrick bleeds many life-impacting
insights with passion. These insights are both biblical and practical, showing
us where the Bible meets life. From the book of Ruth, he challenges us on
dealing with life when our dreams are shattered. He explains this great book to
us from a historical and theological perspective.
Ruth knew what it was like to have her heart broken, as do each
of us. Therefore, whether this book will serve as a tool for personal study or
a study for your small group, it will help you chart a pathway to guide people
through the shattered dreams of their lives.
I love this story, and I am grateful for Patrick Mead’s
approach to it. I think you will find this book encouraging and helpful as you
deal with the shattered dreams of life.
