Rating: Summary: Bring Your Vision to Fruition Review: Got a great idea? Think it's a "must do?" Andy Stanley describes how to differentiate between a good idea and a God-given vision, and what to do next. Not a believer? Doesn't matter. Visioneering offers sound principles for anyone with a vision of something that could be better. It's the best "how to" guide on turning your God-given visions into reality.
Rating: Summary: Amazing! Review: I have never read any other book so quickly. It has been one of the most practical and on-target books I have ever read. The correlation with Nehemiah's story was very inspiring... a MUST HAVE for any Christian book library! Andy's writing is to this and future generations what his father has been to my parents and grandparents generation! What a powerful legacy God has blessed!
Rating: Summary: From a Visionary to a Visioneer Review: If God has given you a vision, these set of tapes will teach you how to engineer your vision. You will then become a Visioneer. These tapes will encourage you on how to keep going forth in the vision God has for you. It will relate to you what you will come against, who you will come against, how they will come against you, with what they'll come against you, and how to handle those things which oppose you. It will also show you how to press on in spite of contrary forces. However, the instruction found on these tapes will advise how moral integrity must remain and how any vision must die if moral integrity would be compromised. I bought 3 different sets to share with visionaries.
Rating: Summary: Nehemiah! Review: If this book won't light your fire, your wood's wet! Andy hits it out of the park with this quintessential work on vision. Vision is a term which has suffered from over-use and has become almost cliche in the business world over the last few years. Everyone "has a vision." Andy Stanley reminds us that vision was God's idea long before the success gurus discovered it. He takes us back to the ancient visionary and workhorse Nehemiah, and gives a VERY practical look at the steps God took him through as he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah faced an impossible task, made possible by God of the Possible, working through His servant. Books of this genre have been so overly produced and hyped, it is sometimes difficult time to separate the wheat from the chaff. Andy Stanley's work will stand the test of time. I believe it may be a classic in its field.
Rating: Summary: Dare to Dream Review: In "Visioneering," Andy Stanley provides the motivation, the plan, and the encouragement for developing and fulfilling your God-given dreams. Nehemiah's vision for rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem is used as a classic example of the things God wants to accomplish in the lives of everyday Godly dreamers. The subject of vision is masterfully defined while practical steps for vision formulation and achievement are carefully explained and clearly illustrated. The book makes for enjoyable, inspiring, and empowering reading. Visionaries waiting for the fulfillment of their dreams can draw good counsel and encouragement from this book. I highly recommend "Visioneering" to anyone who dares to dream. I would also encourage the serious Christian visionary to read "The Power of Vision" by George Barna. The two works bring balance, clarity, and fullness to each other.

Rating: Summary: Motivational, Practical Advice On Actionable Visions Review: It has been a while since I have read a very practical book on building your vision and fulfilling the actions to make that vision come alive. Too often, books on visions and mission statements are more theory books with little practical value. Written with excellent references from the Bible of great leaders that needed a lot of help in getting their own life's direction onto God's fast track, you will find this book to easily relate to today's business needs. I found Andy Stanley's writing to be fun, concise and practical, with each chapter well appointed with bolded key points, thought provoking questions or excercises for personal application. I have already recommended this book to both business collegues and christian friends, both church leaders and laymen. Whether you are wanting more out of your business career, your church committee position, to better define your bible study group's future direction, or to supercharge your life back on to God's well designed plan for your life, this is a great place to inject some smart advice. This book will easily be a book that I will reference again and again in the future.

Rating: Summary: Outstanding Book - Thanks Pastor Stanley Review: Perhaps one of the most asked questions of any any believer is "What does God have planned for my life?" You get touched by a message, you have a burden, but you are not sure it is from God or not. This book, with it's practical exercises and straight teaching helps walk you through the process of understanding the plan God has for you, how you are wired, what burdens He's placed on your heart, and how to walk in light of that vision. This book is tremendous for anyone truly seeking to find out God's will for their life.
Rating: Summary: Great Book...Great Insights! Review: Stanley has done a fantastic job of writing a book that does not come across as overly sermonic. It is well written and has some fresh insight into the idea of vision. Anyone that is seeking direction in their life will benefit from this book.
