“What if?” may seem a simple enough question, but it could be the start of an exciting new journey. That’s the proposition of Bring Your Vision To Life, a new book by Dr. Ralph McCall. The book begins with the following,
“You can bring your dreams and desires to life. It starts by asking the question that begins, “What if . . . .?”
From there it challenges readers to think about what is most important in their lives and in the world around them, to examine their God given desires.. Then, step by step it takes it takes them through the process of how to make it happen. The book is not for someone looking for a light read to make them feel good. The book entails hard work.
Some Christians might be inclined to dismiss this book as just another self help book. It’s anything but that. In reality it’s a book that challenges us to step out with God and make a positive change in the world, and it does this in a practical way. The book is simply written, but that is a bit of a deception, because it forces readers to think about their lives in a deeper way. Every page is packed with principles that encourage readers to understand their and follow their God given calling.
This book is not for the person who wants to live the routines just waiting for life to happen, or the person who goes randomly from event to event. It is a call to action, but doesn’t leave you there. It helps you through the process. Throughout the book you’ll find simple basic principles related to your vision-quest, as well as practical advice. But, the book doesn’t leave you hanging. It helps you put the structure in place to make your vision happen. It also recognizes that you are not on your own on this journey. It is God who can give us our ideas and it is God who is on the journey with us. It is recognition that God is Lord and we are not. Yet, the individual is important to God.
The book contains a number of resources to help the reader. In the back of the book is a five week group study for those who want to work through this with others. There are also podcasts (video and audio) to support the book that can be found at www.visiontolife.org. Other resources and stories of people are also available on the website. In this regard the book is part of a larger infrastructure that is part of a vision to help others find their vision.
The author has an MBA and a Doctorate in Business Administration and a lifetime of experience of working in international organizations and multinational corporations. He has started companies and coached entrepreneurs. In the book the author draws heavily upon entrepreneurial principles, yet this is more than just a business book. It is for anyone who wants to make a positive change in the world whether it is in a family, society or in the world.
If getting the most out of the rest of your life is important to you, then it is definitely worth buying. This book is aimed at all people, but Christians will be particularly challenged by this book. It will be the best money you have ever spent. |
