Summary
ñVision is the ability to see beyond the constraints of present circumstances to the possibilities of the future. It is the hunger to see what is in terms of what ought to be. It is the passion to live life beyond the limits imposed by the tyranny of the urgent. We live in a pragmatic time of expediency, practicality, and sensibility„as a result, the cause of the visionary is all too often seen as little more than a lost cause. Throughout the ages however, wise men and women have seen vision for what it is: the hope of the future, the mainspring of progress, and the provocation for success.î

Speaker
In almost 40 years of ministry, George Grant has started a lot of things and somehow or another he has even managed to finish a few of them Currently, he is the pastor of Parish Presbyterian Church in Franklin, Tennessee, where he also serves as the director of the KingÍs Meadow Study Center and teaches at the Franklin Classical School He has planted four churches, established a fistful of schools and co-ops along with two colleges, accumulated a bottom drawer full of academic degrees, and is the author of enough out-of-print books to keep half the garage sales in the South fully stocked But, by his own testimony, his greatest accomplishment is his ongoing role as husband of one, father of three, and grandfather of four (and counting)
