What the publisher says:
I so enjoyed learning about how God inspired Steve Flinn, who in 2016 was recognized as one of the top three leaders in the country by the John C. Maxwell Leadership Award committee.
A nearly impossible idea that began as a seed became, after many years, Chestnut Mountain Ranch, a 225-acre school and home for troubled boys that is located in one of the poorest and highest drug use areas of the U.S.
But the book is not solely about how Chestnut Mountain Ranch came to be. It's also an inspiring road map for any person of faith who feels he or she is being called to execute an idea, no matter how big or small, that can be accomplished only with God's oversight. And that's all of us, isn't it?
Each of the book's eight chapters focuses on a tool that Steve used. Tools include the need to refine the idea, to gather a team, to develop patience, discipline, perseverance, wisdom and persepective.
He gives examples about how each tool was used in scripture. Then he discusses how he applied the tool to the development of Chestnut Mountain Ranch.
In all, it was a very inspiring book.
I was given this book to read by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Seed to Vision is a must-read for anyone with a God-sized idea who is unsure what to do next. Peppered with personal stories, former metro-Atlanta police special unit gang officer turned boys’ home and school founder Steve Finn shares the eight key tools God uses to turn a seed of an idea into a vision and ultimately to a reality. Be inspired to see that with God nothing is impossible—the idea He gave you can become reality.My thoughts:

You have been introducing us to many good titles lately, wow. Thanks for another good one. Where do you find the books you recommend? I've been on a quest lately to get rid of clutter and am finding titles on my shelves I had forgotten about, almost like new treasures all over again. Now I want to add some of your suggestions to the shelves!
ReplyDeleteHi Kenda! Many of the books were featured in BookBub, which sends me a daily email of specials in my selected topics, Christian nonfiction being one. The books are offered for $.99 that day. Next day, they go back to full price, usually $9.99. I also buy full-priced books. And I have recently become a NetGalley reviewer. This was my first one. They send me free books that are soon to be published, or recently published, for an honest review.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of BookBub but haven't looked into it yet, so thanks for the info. And being a book reviewer sounds like fun but I'm already drowning in my to-read pile! I'll just have to check in here for your recommendations :-)
