Once again Pastor Dewey Friedel places his thumb on
the pulse of our subconscious. Kicking down the psychic
walls that often confine us,Imagine That!empowers us to not
only stretch the boundaries of our imagination, but grasp
the multitude of prophetic threads within God’s Word.We
can see more if we would only believe more.But to believe
more requires that we want more.This book has changed
my life.I am certain it will change yours.
Bishop Donald Hilliard,Jr.
Senior Pastor,Cathedral International
Pastor Dewey Friedel’s new book, Imagine That! is a
must read for all Christians.God wants His children blessed,
healthy,and prosperous in all areas of life.I truly believe this
man of God has uncovered in the Scriptures one of the keys
to our success as believers.
If we on earth want our children happy and fulfilled,
how much more does our heavenly Father want us experi-
encing the same? Without the power of imagination and cre-
ativity,this planet and our current existence,would be very
boring! Thank God for those who propagate faith as in
Hebrews 11:1 (NLV),“Now faith is being sure we will get what
we hope for.It is being sure of what we cannot see.”
The Trinity Broadcasting Network would not exist if it
weren’t for the God-given seeds of both “Faith”and “Imagi-
nation.” Because my folks were simply obedient, Christian
television is beaming around the world 24 hours a day,7 days
a week in dozens of different languages and dialects.After
reading this book,I truly feel you will be better equipped to,
“run the race” and “fight the good fight.” We all need to
know how to put our God-given talents to work and to
understand that,“the God who gives life to the dead,and calls
things that are,not as though they were”(Rom.4:17).

Outstanding! Very inspiring! Pastor Dewey captures the
true essence of imagining your dreams to become a reality.
With Christ in charge through faith, trust, and prayer, all
dreams—if you believe—can come true. Just look around
you and imagine God’s creations and what it is going to be
like in Heaven with eternal life.

Imagine That! may be one of the most important books
you ever read.This exciting work proves,beyond the shadow
of a doubt, that the human imagination is one of the most
powerful natural and spiritual forces that exist.Full of excit-
ing examples, natural evidence, and proven principles, this
book will help you believe,achieve,and receive exceedingly
and abundantly more than you previously imagined—take
this dynamic journey and rejoice for the great things that
await you.
Pastor Tommy Barnett

As a psychiatrist,I ask all new patients,“What is your
goal in life?”The younger generation usually say,“I don’t
have one,”or “Just to enjoy today.”I also ask them what they
tell themselves when they make a mistake,and what they tell
their best friend when she makes a similar mistake. The
answers are usually harsh on self,but kind to the friend,so
the patient is lying to either friend or self.By deciding that
moment to treat self as a friend from that point forward,and
to think of reasonable but exciting goals in life, the patient
can have a dramatically improved quality of life in just a few
minutes of redecisions. I am very excited that my friend,
Dewey Friedel, has written Imagine That! It will be life
changing to all who read it and heed it.

Dewey Friedel is one of the most qualified people, I
believe,in the Christian world and is able to bring this truth
to believers and non-believers at the same time.As the sub-
ject of the imagination seems to be a major topic of readers
throughout the world today it is very necessary for it to be
dealt with on a biblical, easy-to-read revelation basis. We
must all live in our imagination of the future,rather than in
our past. I highly recommend this book as a fresh insight
and dynamic way to deal with prayer, faith, dreams, and
abundant life.
