About this Item

Throughout In Plane Sight, Rick Stephens lays out his personal life in sweeping detail to show how igniting his spiritual life with God helped him achieve success at work, at home, and at play.Stephens describes how his experiences were enshrouded within a master plan God had for him from the beginning-not a predestined plan of "things to do," but a way of living that led to a life of great adventure, joy, and meaning. After becoming president of two different companies, and being fired from both, Stephens started his own company with a promise from God like that of Abraham many years ago, and a spouse fully on board. Horizon Hobby grew from an idea to become a world leader in the design and development of radio control hobby products, including airplanes, helicopters, cars and beyond. Under Stephens' leadership the company reached $330 million in revenues with over 700 people in facilities around the world. However, his success in business paled in comparison to the joy of employing biblical principles and living out his faith in the workplace. In Plane Sight recounts how Stephens' spiritual life was just as real and a part of every experience as what he underwent physically. Instead of compartmentalizing his faith as one of several priorities, he shows how life on earth flourishes when viewed through the lens of the Creator and people live according to His plan for them. In Plane Sight becomes not Stephens' story, but God's story within a man.

About this title

Synopsis

Throughout In Plane Sight, Rick Stephens lays out his personal life in sweeping detail to show how igniting his spiritual life with God helped him achieve success at work, at home, and at play.

Stephens describes how his experiences were enshrouded within a master plan God had for him from the beginning―not a predestined plan of “things to do,” but a way of living that led to a life of great adventure, joy, and meaning. After becoming president of two different companies, and being fired from both, Stephens started his own company with a promise from God like that of Abraham many years ago, and a spouse fully on board. Horizon Hobby grew from an idea to become a world leader in the design and development of radio control hobby products, including airplanes, helicopters, cars and beyond. Under Stephens’ leadership the company reached $330 million in revenues with over 700 people in facilities around the world. However, his success in business paled in comparison to the joy of employing biblical principles and living out his faith in the workplace.

In Plane Sight recounts how Stephens’ spiritual life was just as real and a part of every experience as what he underwent physically. Instead of compartmentalizing his faith as one of several priorities, he shows how life on earth flourishes when viewed through the lens of the Creator and people live according to His plan for them. In Plane Sight becomes not Stephens’ story, but God’s story within a man.
