In early medieval Europe, dreams and visions were believed to reveal divine information about Christian life and the hereafter. No consensus existed, however, as to whether all Christians, or only a spiritual elite, were entitled to have a relationship of this sort with the supernatural. Drawing on a rich variety of sources—histories, hagiographies, ascetic literature, and records of dreams at saints' shrines—Isabel Moreira provides insight into a society struggling to understand and negotiate its religious visions. Moreira analyzes changing attitudes toward dreams and visionary experiences beginning in late antiquity, when the church hierarchy considered lay dreamers a threat to its claims of spiritual authority. Moreira describes how, over the course of the Merovingian period, the clergy came to accept the visions of ordinary folk—peasants, women, and children—as authentic. Dream literature and accounts of visionary experiences infiltrated all aspects of medieval culture by the eighth century, and the dreams of ordinary Christians became central to the clergy's pastoral concerns. Written in clear and inviting prose, this book enables readers to understand how the clerics of Merovingian Gaul allowed a Christian culture of dreaming to develop and flourish without compromising the religious orthodoxy of the community or the primacy of their own authority.

Change does not come to earth just because we believe - we must be willing to lead. Everything on the earth hinges on leadership. We are learning to live and lead from the throne of David-the heart and authority of God. The purpose of this book is to advance healthy leadership by understanding its value and purpose. Whatever we do not value we will discard or misuse. Without leadership, great visions will never survive. Everyone who leads serves others, and everyone who serves is leading someone. Our lives were created to bring advancement to what already exists as well as pursuing that which has never been accomplished. David's anointed worship as a shepherd boy did not change Israel until he became king. When we lead, who we are shifts the world or someone's world. We must rule to bring change. Greater assignments are given when we address our current challenges. As long as we are alive-never stop leading, never stop dreaming and never stop loving-it's God's adventure for our life. Our leadership is accelerated when we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and ruling from the throne of David in the earth. - Dr. Bill Hamon Intimacy with Father God is the key that will allow you to position yourself to operate out of the throne of David for His glory. - Rich Marshall GOD@WORK This revelation concerning leadership and authority will change how the Church does business. - Bishop Anne Gimenez In "The Throne of David," you will see yourself like never before. - Bishop Tommy Reid This is truly one of the best books I've ever read! - Dr. Rocky Tannehill, Entrepreneur

Power can be either constructive or destructive. Many have habits, lifestyles, and toxic relationships that have and do prove themselves destructive. People also have many habits, lifestyles, and healthy relationships that have and do prove themselves constructive. Ideally, what we want is to remove all the destructive powers in our lives and incorporate the constructive powers. The Power of a Vision is about a necessary constructive power that we all need. 2 Peter 1:9, referring to people who are not doing the hard work it takes to grow in the Lord, says this creates a sight problem. But the sight problem is specific; it's not a problem with seeing things that are before you, but it says that these people are "blind and cannot see far off." We'll have much to say about this passage in 2 Peter 1 within these pages, but for now, consider the specific sight issue created. Furthermore, consider the problems this sight issue will create. We serve a god of revelation. God desires to remove the veil and reveal. If something is hidden, its existence can be questioned; but if it's revealed, one cannot deny its existence. What a constructive power to see what God has planned, to be fully persuaded by what you see. What you see influences your daily decisions. What you see influences the directions your lives go. It is the nature of any journey that if you travel the right direction, with enough miles, you will arrive at your desired destination. How many are miles and miles away from God's perfect plan, all because they have no vision? Hellen Keller, when asked about her blindness, said, "Worse than not having sight is to have sight but no vision."
