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. Now this bestseller is again available in an attractive, affordable paperback!
Everybody ends up somewhere in life.
You can end up somewhere on purpose!
Visioneering is the engineering of a vision. It’s the process one follows to develop and maintain vision. “Vision,” writes Andy Stanley , “is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be.”
In the bestselling 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.
“Visioneering is the best book on vision I’ve seen. It will put you on track to discovering God’s purpose for your life. In my course “The Vision ofthe Leader,” I quote from Andy’s book more than any other. Visioneering should be on the bookshelf of every pastor, business leader, and parent in America . I heartily endorse it!”

It truly is “God’s blueprint for developing and maintaining personal vision.”

November 20, 2008:
Visioneering is a book that I would recommend for anyone that has a desire to make what "could be", "should be" according to the Word and the Heart of God. It challenges your morale and integrity by making sure that you are in line with God's word before pursuing after your vision. Visioneering helps you to remain focused on the end result "GOD". It encourages you by letting you know that any vision that is a God vision will be met with difficulties and challenges that may seem impossible to face, but if you have the attitude like Nehemiah and tell your challenges "I can't come down until I am done" the end result will be worth the wait.
I encourage any business owner just starting out, or, for the owner that has been in existence a few years, and has decided to revamp, to keep this book as the "Bible", "Source", or "Business Plan" to a successful running operation. I was truly blessed and inspired to keep on with the vision that the Lord has placed within me! There were times when I wanted to give up but Andy's book gave me a new perspective on how to approach and handle what God allows in pressing to the end. Thank You so Very Much....
