Visioneering interesting read

As Christians we are always to endeavor to gain wisdom and knowledge. I am still reading, "The Jesus Way" but I had been reading this book by Andy Stanley whose dad is the famous preacher Charles Stanley you might have heard on KKLA for those of you in California. Andy his son is an accomplished writer, pastor, and church planter. He challenges me in an area I am very sensitive about. The term Vision versus Visualization. They are diffeent. Visualization is the New Age term for worship. You want it visualize it. The Faith teachers use the "Name-it-and-claim-it" technique. This is neither of those. Andy's book is looking at the life of Nehemiah and discover how having a vision is important to the strength and fruitfulness of a Spirit-led life. The Bible says, "Where [there is] no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy [is] he. Prov. 29:18" Andy is clever in his very positive encouragement and analysis of Nehemiah and the vision he was given by God and then he acted upon it. So many men have vision while in College or seminary and then it vanishes when they get out. Why? They lack the means and steps whereby to emplore the Lord for leading and direction to fulfill the vision. I am not even half way so my analysis is going to have to be tabled until then. It is a good read so far. Below is the Amazon explanantion of the book.
