Visioneering by Andy Stanley

If you have never read a self-help- book this might be one for you.  The author does nothing new or inventive based on books I have read in the past thirty years.  While the book is structured in an organized manner and the personal examples help to provide insight into various situations it lacks originality.  If you enjoy the stories about Nehemiah from the bible this would be a perfect book for you.  The book is full of examples that relate back to Nehemiah’s experiences.  I would have preferred to see some examples from others within the bible but that is the authors choice.  My experience in reading these types of self-help book is you need to provide many examples to reach a boarder number of readers.  Limited examples and situations will only apply to so many people and others will lose interest quickly.  Again, if you are new to the self-help type book you might find this one interesting.  If you have read more than a few self-help books you will see many things that are familiar that have already been discussed and written about many times before.
I received a free copy of this book from WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for my honest review of this book.
