Dr. David Yong-Gi Cho is the pastor of the world's largest church and a best-selling author. Many of his books talk about life in the Fourth Dimension--a realm that is more real than the physical world in which we live. He points out that the world we know was fashioned in the invisible Fourth Dimension--the spiritual realm--and the things we see are only temporary; whereas, spiritual things are eternal. In light of this, he wants each of us to gain entrance to the Fourth Dimension, the place where the God of might and miracles lives and moves.
How do we move from this sphere into the Fourth Dimension? Dr. Cho provides a "road map" for us by showing us the things we need to change in order to get there and live there:
We must change the way we think We must live by faith, not by sight We must dream God's dreams We must change the way we speak We must change the way we behave Yes, these are the keys that open the door to the Fourth Dimension for every child of God who wants to know and experience God in all His fullness. As you read this book, you will gain glimpses into the spiritual dimension, a wonderful place of love, peace, and joy, and you will be inspired to go there and stay there. Though you are in the world, you do not have to be of the world.
"By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible" (Hebrews 11:3 NKJV).

A must-read book for every believer, and dare I say, non-believers as well. Because the 4th dimensional world is something that we all can tap into as human beings. But as children of God, we tap in with authority that marries with God's authority, and that gives us power over all the things of earth. Dr. David Yong-Gi Cho explains very well on the spiritual realm that governs the earthly realm we live in, and how we can tap on the spiritual realm to lead a purposeful fruitful life for God.
in this book Dr Cho goes through many important essentials that a Christian mst have, he went into specifics of what he would call 'creative command'. As pastor of the largest church in the world, his anoiting his massive. Dr Cho had humble beginnings, he started after attending seminary and preached from a tent churh where he never had a good meal. Truly a man of God. This is a book that you must read if you are a follower of Christ. It goes into your library of books.
This book, written by the pastor of the largest church in the world, teaches how to effect change on earth by invoking the kingdom (4th Dimension) of God. This is done through proper thinking, faith, dreams and words that we speak. It is a simple message but one that takes discipline and training.
The first few pages were hard, but turned out to be a great read. Awesome book for new believers. Gives you a clear understanding of faith and praying with conviction. All believers should read.
It is a curious little book really. In 2006, Yonggi Cho returns after 25 years to 'The 4th Dimension' to re-emphasise the same teaching. The original 4th Dimension teaching was startling and a brilliant revelation; so one would expect revisiting it would look at things in more depth or with retrospective filling in of gaps or misconceptions. However it is not the case - rather this seems more embryonic thinking than the mature result. The basic outline of 4th dimensional thinking (that is - spiritual thinking applied to the material world) is discussed in going through the steps of thinking, dreaming, living by faith and speaking out the outcomes we want, but that is all. In fact without the material of the earlier books this seems worryingly like a prosperity gospel or a 'power of positive' thinking non gospel. All the more why the book needed to demonstrate more self awareness.
Nevertheless there is a great deal of truth in what Yonggi Cho teaches. There are other problems though. It is not clear whether he takes the 4th Dimension literally or whether is is a metaphorical device? The illustrations and the scriptures used in this book don't particularly relate well to the point they are supposed to be supporting. Unlike the original this book, the Korean cultural thinking (with respect to Christianity) seems too dominant, leaving a slight disconnect with western Christianity.
Overall this is still worth the read, but it is hard to understand exactly where Yonggi Cho was coming from? It doesn't read like a lazy book were it was just spat out (transcribe a sermon) to make money, but perhaps either his mental powers were declining or perhaps (and if so sadly) he had not moved on spiritually in all these years and merely was revisiting what he first learned from the Holy Spirit?
Preocupado por la poca profundización que se da en el libro acerca de la fe cristiana, entiendo que el autor parte de la Biblia pero no profundiza las ideas, al final del día se puede generar la creencia que con simplemente declarar las situaciones cambiarán y que esto no exige un cambio profundo personal.
This book was very informative on my curiosities about the 4th dimension correlating how it intertwines with the spiritual realm.It was the exact information i was looking for intertwining the two that i couldn't find anywhere else.
Nuestra vida tiene limitaciones, puesto que pertenece al plano tridimensional que se encuentra sometido bajo el tiempo, existe otra dimensión. La Biblia enseña: lo que se ve fue hecho de lo que no se veía (ver Hebreos 11:3). La cuarta dimensión no es otra cosa que la dimensión espiritual. La fuerza motriz de mis cuarenta y siete años de ministerio presentado en Viva en la Cuarta Dimension no ha sido producto de mi estudio personal o el aprendizaje por parte de un erudito, sino un secreto que me ha sido revelado por medio de una profunda comunión con el Espíritu Santo. Es mi deseo hacerles conocer este secreto.
Pastor Yonggi Cho's books are truly a blessing.Every book is a game-changer in and of itself.They teach you God's word like never before .You'll soar high in your faith and experience life to the fullest.
