From the Publisher

God has an exciting purpose, plan, and vision for every one of His children. If you haven’t found yours yet, The Principles and Power of Vision will help you discover and fulfill your God-ordained destiny. This is truly one of the best books I’ve ever read on the topic of vision! Bill McCartney, Founder and President, Promise Keepers

What a great book! Myles Munroe has captured a clear and concise roadmap for discovering the vision for our lives and, more succinctly than anyone else, how to fulfill it. Dr. Bill Winston, Pastor, Living Word Christian Center, Forest Park, Illinois

The Principles and Power of Vision seeks to inspire men and women to pursue the vision that God has placed in their hearts and is also a practical tool for maximizing one’s potential. The book is spiritually and mentally stimulating as it explores the concept that "vision" is powerful and a motivator to human activity, and that it requires the application of basic rules and principles for effective fulfillment. I congratulate Dr. Munroe on the success of this book, which is indicative of the desire within readers for such material. I have no doubt that Dr. Munroe’s desire to impart his insights and concepts to the world through this medium will bear much fruit. I highly commend this book to individuals in all aspects of leadership—spiritual and secular—and pray that God will bless those who strive to fulfill the vision He has placed in them. Dame Ivy Dumont, Governor-General, The Commonwealth of the Islands of the Bahamas

5.0 out of 5 stars You cannot live life without it., August 21, 2003

By 

[e-mail] (Marsh Harbour, Abaco Bahamas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Principles And Power Of Vision (Hardcover)

This book forms a fitting conclusion to a trilogy, with works like Understanding your Potential,and Discovering your Purpose, all previously written by the author.
In his usual instruction-type manner, Dr Myles proceeds to give the reader understanding of vision, and describes the dissastorous effects of a life without one.

Part One of the book focuses on defining vision, and detailing its source.

Part Two offers twleve principles for fulfilling your personal vision.Here are a few:

Principle 1: Be directed by a clear Vision
Principle 3: Develop a concrete plan for your vision
Principle 5: Develop the faith of vision
Principle 12: Stay connected to the source of the vision

Part Three discusses the power of vision and outlines how to write your personal vision

This work is also filled with power-packed quotes like:

'The most frustrated person in the world is someone who has a dream but does not know how to bring it to pass'

'It is when you decide that you are going to find something that is truly yours that you will find your gift, fulfill your vision, and be remembered by others'

'A clear vision gives us a passion that keeps us continually moving forward in life'

'God's way of getting us to where we are to go is often different from what we expect'

As with all his works Dr Myles continues to offer the reader new insight that if applied can change your life and impact the people you come in contact with.

Keep up the good work sir.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best, June 3, 2005

A Book Lover - See all my reviews

This review is from: Principles And Power Of Vision (Hardcover)

I had to respond after I read that unfair comment from the person who only gave this book 2 stars. I will go on the record and say that this is THE BEST book written concerning vision and following your heart's dreams. Everyone here is looking for fulfillment and purpose in life (those that say they are not, are lying), and the only way to achieve that is by following the desires that God has placed in your heart. Everything is created by God and it will take God and only God to show you where your destiny lies. Dr. Myles Munroe did a wonderful job in explaining how these principles work and if you follow them, they will change your life forever. So to everyone who read that "2-Star" review, please ignore it and purchase the book. You will not regret it.

This review is from: Principles And Power Of Vision (Hardcover)

Dr. Myles Munroe has done it again. Here is a book that I highly recommend for anyone who is not sure what or where they are in life. Vision is as vital as the air you breathe. Dr. Munroe delivers a message of principles based on the Word of God, and offers guidance on how to accomplish and reach your purpose in life. With wisdom he explains the difference between vision, purpose and goals. This book is a definate eye opener, and a total thumbs up for Munroe!!!
