Publisher's summary

Lift Your Vision High

Vision is a preferred future. A destination. Vision always stands in contrast to the world as it is. Visioneering, according to bestselling author Andy Stanley, is "a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be." With warm, down-to-earth practicality, Andy Stanley explores the ordinary life of Nehemiah and his God-given vision for accomplishing the extraordinary. He shows how the life of this great ancient visionary, determined to rebuild the ruined walls of Jerusalem, reveals principles that can prepare us to find and follow God’s multifaceted vision for our own lives.

In the best-selling Visioneering, Stanley builds a compelling case for the necessity of a clear, God-ordained vision for each of the roles of your life. Whether you’re a parent with a vision for your children or a CEO pursuing a corporate vision, Visioneering is the perfect tool to help you develop and maintain God’s unique purpose for your life.

Andy Stanley, the pastor of more than 15,000, knows a lot of people, and is well aware of the overwhelming and mutual desire nearly every Christian holds to find and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives. This book was written to stir these hearts and move people forward by providing tangible steps to getting from Point A to Point B. "As Christians," states Stanley, "we do not have a right to take our talents, abilities, experiences, opportunities, and education and run off in any direction we please." This book was written to provide a specific plan for going in the right direction. It truly is "God’s blueprint for developing and maintaining personal vision."

Stunningly good

Andy Stanley does an amazing job relating these concepts. Solid Biblical foundations. Not sure how you could apply it when not fully surrendered to Christ. It is a book for Christian or those at least open to believe that their vision is bigger than them or the outcome they intend.

The reader is fine but having heard Andy Stanley speak it is easy to wish he had done the book himself.

The book is dense and I found myself on audio realizing that it would be worth "reading" again slowly and taking copious notes.

The other piece that cannot be overlooked is that the author has immense credibility in walking out God given visions. The book is not new and many years later he is still walking out God sized visions...visions surrendered to God

This book gave me hope, even in my advanced years (68 ). It had me in tears from the strong emotionally inspirational message.
I’m still going somewhere, yet now I a valuable resource to add to the guidance tools necessary to finish well the adventure God directing me to.

A must read for anyone looking for their purpose.

When I purchased this book I was afraid of reading about another technical how to book; however I've found it to be a very practical book about finding and maintaining purpose in life. To me, this is an E rated book.

Meh

Achhh. With extra phlegm.

This book took me months to read. Or more accurately, listen to. I've read a couple books by Andy Stanley now, and I want to love him. I really do. But I've reached a point of recognizing that I wallow through his books every time.

Some things I DID like (that's only fair):
1) I need to read "Nehemiah". I've never paid a lot of attention to this story since I became a (formal) leader. And I'm excited to go into it with those experiences and points of application.
2) I loved the motto "I'm doing a great thing. I can't come down." Nehemiah said this when naysayers and those meaning him harm tried to get him to come off the wall. The application of this to any calling we have on us is awesome.
3) I might have learned this before, but if I did I forgot about it. Andy Stanley explained that the plagues of Egypt were very specific to Egypt's sacred cows, if you will. So if we're thinking, "What's with these weird, fragmented plagues?" there's an answer to that. Pharaohs considered themselves gods. Egyptians also worshipped the Nile. And the sun. And other things associated with the plagues. So God was essentially going, "Naw, sit down, son. Watch this."

But back to all books Andy Stanley. They're solid. They're sound. They're...not relevatory. So if it's not relevatory, it at least needs to be passionate. Like Bob Goff or Donald Miller. Or absorbing through prose. Like Ann Voskamp. But it's just...dad socks in slides. Also, the narrator was dad socks in slides. Like, it all gets the job done practically, but I'm sighing at the process.

This may work for many people and Andy Stanley is renowned for his work and books. So I am noticeably in the minority for not loving this.

I'd rate this book a G.

This book is so encouraging

I really enjoyed this book and am certain I will re-read it often. I found many quotable portions and several encouraging thoughts and ideas. This is a good book for leaders but an even better resource for support staff.

Good for Someone with a Vision

If you could sum up Visioneering in three words, what would they be?

If God has given you a vision about where you are going in life, this book is good to help you know how to handle that vision.

Good vision principles

The book does contain a lot of helpful descriptions and examples of vision but it is by no means based on science and research.
