"Zoltán Dörnyei is one of the most formidable researchers I know. In this characteristically fascinating book he traverses a number of usually distinct intellectual worlds to offer us an account of vision which is rich, inspiring and also practical. I can think of no one else who could bring together neuro-science, social science, business and theology into a work so useful and interesting as this one."– Karen Kilby, Bede Professor of Catholic Theology, Durham University, UK"In this book, Zoltán Dörnyei offers a masterful multifaceted exploration of vision through the prism of his cross-disciplinary expertise in science and theology. Substantial, insightful, and practice oriented, this seminal work is essential reading for anyone wanting to more fully understand and experience the power of vision in Christian life and ministry."– Carolyn Kristjánsson, PhD, CEC, Trinity Western University, Canada"We are living in times when many people, both individually and collectively, are seeking purpose in their lives and are longing to discern a vision for a more hopeful future. By bringing together two distinctive lines of inquiry across the social sciences and theology, this book represents a new kind of scholarship, one that reaches imaginatively across these disciplines while at the same time offering concrete practical proposals to any community compelled to respond to vision in action."– Maggie Kubanyiova, Professor of Language Education, University of Leeds, UK
