Dreams and Visions

Title: Dreams and Visions
Author: Jane Hamon
Genre: Christian Living

This book provides a balanced approach to understanding dreams and visions from a Biblical perspective. Chapters in the book include "God's Purpose for Dreams and Visions", "False Dreams and Visions", "Natural Dreams and Visions", "The Language of Symbolism" and many more.

One thing that I appreciated about the book is that the topic itself is covered in an overview manner. She touches the surface on many aspects of dreams and visions, so if you are just getting interested in learning about the dreams and visions, Jane Hamon covers a lot of material. Now, one thing this book is not, is a psychology book. While she does talk about how some dreams can be "soulish in nature", she does not go into detail from a psychological perspective on how a soulful dream originates. But, by the end of the book, with prayer, you will be able to discern if a dream contains a message from the Lord.

As I mentioned before in a previous post, when learning about dreams, the most important source you can go to is the Bible, followed by prayer to God. After that, use sources that are Biblically based and contain a balanced approach.

LOL- I read to relax and to escape. I love reading books about stories that will transport me to another place (usually the beach). So, I usually read at night when the house is quiet.
