The Dream Maker

After I was done reading this book I had to ask myself what has God called me to do? Why have I not heard it? Why would God call on Patrick to do so much and so many other people so little?
Patrick Atkinson, is able to do the work he is called to do because he does not fear death. Fear will stop us from doing the most simple things but not Patrick. A moving story about a man who only cares about the poorest of the poor. A story that brings faith and hope to those who doubt that there is pure love for those in our world who have nothing. This book is a definite read. Highly recommended for teens and adults. A wonderful book to read for book clubs.

Great Learning Tool

Why does it take a near death experience for one man, Patrick Atkinson, what takes a lifetime for others to realize? Knowing why we exist and what our path is. Follow a modern day spiritual journey, from continent to continent in search of one mission, serving children of the poor.

A sometimes wrenchingly vivid depiction by Monica Hannan of contemporary service to the least of our brothers, The Dream Maker is a heroic read for today's young people. Patrick's life journey challenges the definition of success we hold in the U.S. for our status oriented, college prepped youth. This is a great read for a freshman English class, youth groups prior to service trips, or high school seniors contemplating college. As the book notes, Patrick is now an international speaker. Imagine a speaking engagement (before demand makes it impossible) following a class/group read.

As an educator and parent of four young adults, The Dream Maker offers a real life paradigm shifting account. The book is a rare educational opportunity and couldn't happen in a more compelling and contemporary fashion.

Making Dreams Possible

A well written, inspiring story. This follows the story of a man who gives his life to helping others, along with the story of one of the little ones that he aids. Atkinson recognizes that he can not change the world, yet he does manage to change the world of the children of the streets in Guatemala. He has found a way to make it possible for these children to dream of what they want to accomplish in life, and to work towards that goal through eduction.

Atkinson's belief is that most people want to help the disadvantaged children of the world. He provides a way for us to do that.

Starting with helping just a few children, Atkinson has seen his work expand to help and encourage thousands. The reader goes along on the journey and realizes that small acts can be like a pebble thrown in a pond. The resulting circle from the pebble can expand and expand.

I loved this book for the hope and inspiration it gives to the reader.

The Dream Maker is a truly inspiring story for everyone who cares

Monica Hannan does a wonderful job with a truly inspiring story about a man who genuinely cares for our world's poor and abandoned children. Patrick Atkinson is a man who doesn't just talk about these children, he has done something we all wish we would have done. This story is well written and is most deserving of your time. If you want to feel that there is hope in this world, read this book now. You'll never regret it.

"Whatsoever you do for the least of my people, that you do unto me."

Monica Hannan has written the story of one man who has seen the faces of the least of God's children and is doing something. It is a story that takes us behind the headlines and the predigested propaganda that we receive about the poorer nations of our world. It is a story of bitter poverty, horrible misuse of power as well as a story of the power of love and compassion and the changed lives that sometimes result from that care. It is not a rosy picture she gives us, but it is a real story of a man empowered by God to do something about the sorry state of the world in places where most of us would fear to tread. Even as I think about the title of Monica's book, the haunting lament of the man from La Mancha moves through my mind:

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

Most of us hunger to make a difference in our world. Patrick Atkinson is facing that hunger by placing his life on the line to meet the "unbearable sorrow" of the children who have no one else.

Read it and weep. And then stand up and join those who are dreaming the dream of a better life for those who have no hope.
