5.0 out of 5 stars Great lessons for ALL types of leaders, April 23, 2003

By 

Voracious Reader (Dallas, Texas metropolitan area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leadership Promises for Every Day (Hardcover)

This daily devotional provides the essence of many of Dr. Maxwell's lessons. As the introduction states, the book is designed to connect one with God and provide daily leadership thoughts. It does just that by connecting biblical principles with a short, thought provoking narrative on how those principles can be applied to everyday leadership. This is a faith based book appropriate for all faiths, but it is also very meaningful and relevant outside of the biblical content. If you've owned other devotionals, but sometimes find yourself reading them out of a sense of obligation, this book will be a refreshing change. You will read and re-read its passages. It's also a great book for those wishing to distill Dr. Maxwell's teachings into bite-sized lessons, and is appropriate for all types of leaders (business, family, community, etc.). The lessons presented are simple, but not simplistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Meaningful Gift, June 10, 2003

By 

FERNANDO FLORES (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leadership Promises for Every Day (Hardcover)

I was given this book by my wife and children for my birthday. What a wonderful gift!! I have never had a daily devotional before this book, but always loved reading books on leadership. This book is a wonderful blend of leadership wisdom and the spiritualness we sometimes lack in our daily dealings with those we interact with. It has given me a wonderful start to my day. I then share the daily lesson with my family, friends and coworkers. A must have on your desk or in your briefcase.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Kindle Edition, January 17, 2011

This review is from: Leadership Promises for Every Day (Kindle Edition)

I have this book on hard cover and it is, as so many others have written, one of the most outstanding books in my library. However, when I bought the version for Kindle on iPad I found that the electronic version lacks the months and days that accompany the meditations. Maybe it works fine on Kindle by Amazon. But on my iPad it is virtually useless.
