Couldn’t wait to share this book with everyone.
Truly one of a kind.
A friend and I were looking at some of it’s praises on Amazon the other day and couldn’t believe despite many awesome accolades, there actually were a few one star reviews.
One of them paraphrased read like this, “Barnett wasted my time with endless stories of changed lives. Who needs that?”
My answer to that would be, “I DO!”

Matthew Barnett is the founder of the original Dream Center. Becoming a pastor in LA at the age of 20, Barnett quickly realized conventional styles of ministry he learned seminary weren’t going to help him much in the real world of hurt and hopelessness.

After a life changing experience in Echo Park, he began to realize that ministry isn’t about success or building big facilities, it’s about people.

The end result 16 years later is a church called Angelus Temple with over 6,000 on attendance, the Dream Center who helps over 30,000 people a day and has inspired replicas all over the nation, and a man with a mission to connect people with their purpose.

Worth it.
