Winner of the Christianity Today Book Award in Theology/Ethics (2019) To see God is our heart's desire, our final purpose in life. But what does it mean to see God? And exactly how do we see God--with our physical eyes or with the mind's eye? In this informed study of the beatific vision, Hans Boersma focuses on "vision" as a living metaphor and shows how the vision of God is not just a future but a present reality. Seeing God is both a historical theology and a dogmatic articulation of the beatific vision--of how the invisible God becomes visible to us. In examining what Christian thinkers throughout history have written about the beatific vision, Boersma explores how God trains us to see his character by transforming our eyes and minds, highlighting continuity from this world to the next. Christ-centered, sacramental, and ecumenical, Boersma's work presents life as a never-ending journey toward seeing the face of God in Christ both here and in the world to come.

According to George Barna, uncovering God's vision for your ministry is not an option. It's essential for the most productive ministry that will accomplish God's goals for building his kingdom. Ministry leaders with a clear picture from God of where they are headed are much more likely to experience a successful journey. In this book, Barna uncovers how God has shared his vision throughout history, how vision is different from mission, common practices and beliefs that inhibit true vision, practical steps toward experiencing and carrying out God's unique vision for them, and ways to share and promote congregational ownership of the vision.The Power of Vision

In God's Vision, author K.R. Levine's life takes her from the comfort of her childhood home in Jamaica with her loving, pious, grandmother, and religious aunt to a journey across the sea. America's promise was darkened by a failing marriage, and an unhappy home. An emergency C-section suddenly left her fighting for her life with a mysterious illness that confounded her doctors. It was during this dark period, in the hospital, that she received a vision from God. She wrote this book to share this vision-hoping that the faith of the believer would be strengthened. She is hoping that the non-believer will discover that God is a living, awesome, loving being. He loves us more than we can ever imagine. She acknowledges the spiritual faithfulness and Biblical institutions of her grandmother and aunt which helped shaped her life. An early relationship with God enabled a reliance on "faith" while learning what was happening in the hospital. She identified with the struggles of Biblical characters like Jonah, Samuel, Joseph and especially the woman who clung to Jesus' garment, hoping that she would be healed. These characters had one thing in common "faith": In exercising their "faith"; their lives were forever changed. In the middle of the night she was blessed under the Navel orange tree; she believes God's anointing will enable her to reach millions with his message of hope. This book is dedicated to that purpose.

“You see, brothers and sisters, in this God and human relationship you can get the best result only when God speaks and the human, male or female, young or old will yield, obey and take a step with the spoken Word. The result will all the time be the best. God gets the glory, the instrument leaves behind a legacy for the next generation, letting the next generation know how a loving interrelationship between God and human can always have the best result. When I say God speaks, His voice can be heard through different mediums, for example; the Bible does speak to us, hearing a person who has obeyed the LORD and taking a step with what he or she heard does speak to us, anointed preaching does speak to us, through worship God does speak to us. However, what language does God speak? Is it any special language with a special grammar that we should try to specialize to hear? NO. Nevertheless, we have heard people of different nations and language hearing the voice of God and attempting great things for Him and getting results that only God can create. The language of God is an inspiration to a believing heart to increase faith in the heart toward God. When a believing heart hears an inspiration and increase in faith and takes a purposeful step with what he or she hears, we know God has spoken to such a person.”
