This is the best xmas gift I ever received. This book will change your life. If you have heard TD Jakes preaching, you have seen his ability to excite the audience and keep them screaming. This performance is repeated in the book.It starts at such a high note. The introduction alone sends millions of questions thru your mind -past, present and future. The book keeps you evaluating your life using criterias that are supported biblically. It gives you the Bible scriptures to justfy or drive actions in your life. Read this book.

Once again T D Jakes has touched my heart and soul by writing such an insightful balanced book that is full of ground breaking truth about how to look at life and live it to its full potential. In a day and time when there is so much dysfunction in the body of christ, this book brings back the balance for anyone who is strung out on extremes of spiritual mumbo jumbo. Mazimizing the Moment paints a clear balanced picture of how to handle our everyday lives, other people, and different situations whether bad or good, and teaches you how to gain insight into how we should put our plan in the hands of God who has blessed us with great unrealized potential. Anyone who reads this marvelous, down to earth account of God's plan for our lives will come away enlightened. Many unanswered questions will be answered. Thankyou for sharing your heart and personal life in this book because now I know that life is about maximizing my moments. Again this book has set me free in many ways and I suggest everyone read it before they enter the winter of their lives. Thank you for telling us how to appreciate ourselves and start living instead of existing.

I found this book to be extremely powerful in it's message. It's no-nonsense approach goes straight to the heart of the matter. He tells it like it is, keeping within the confines of the spiritual laws that govern our lives. This is a golden nugget I am passing on to others, hoping it's as helpful to them as it was to me. If after reading this book you find you don't like it (it made you feel uncomfortable in some way?) then perhaps it's because it's message has stirred up some residue that needs to be dealt with. This book's message is about changing and streamlining the most precious commodity we have - our own lives! It's about taking stock of what we're doing and how we're doing it and why, then showing you how to stop doing what's not working and get on with life. I was definitely blessed by reading this book. Thank you, TD Jakes. (I would love to do a Spanish translation for my Spanish speaking friends in South America who can't read English.)

Maximize The Moment is a very inspiring and motivating book. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we have to make decisions on a daily bases. Pastor T.D. Jakes lets us know that we have to make wise choices with a plan in our head and with God in our heart. After I read this book I started applying it to my life and meditating more to finish the race and running the race patiently. In order for you to understand what I am saying in this paragraph, read the book and you will find that this book is good to the last drop.

This excellent book stirs one on to productive activity for God. The issue address is that of the quality of one's life. Jakes writes, "...the question isn't how long we live but how well we live. What matters are the moments we live life to the fullest." That theme is eloquently explored throughout the remainder of the book. Essentially maintaining a high level of quality in life relates to making the right choices consistently. "Choosing which to respond to and which to ignore help you to maximize your life," Jakes points out.

Adequately eliminating some things is one wise decision that can be made. We're encouraged to cut off things that aren't working in our lives. Like other writers in this genre, the author believes God created each of us uniquely for specific purposes to be accomplished in our lives during our time on earth.

A creative discussion of desire is developed. He equates it with intensity or passion, noting "intensity focuses on how badly we want it while objectives focus on the specificity of what we want." He couples relationship development with passion for goal attainment and advises not to partner with people who lack passion for the vision. Diversity in relationships add depth that would otherwise be missing. Healthy relationships result when strengths are exchanged he tells us.

His section on the necessity of rest is particularly refreshing. Not only is it essential to proper health, but it enables one to enjoy the journey.

This wonderful book is so full, so rich, so delightful that a review can't capture the fullness of the inspiration it brings. This is the type of reading successful people do. I had heard the author speak on TV on several occasions. In reading this book I saw a depth to him that oral delivery can't portray. He writes in such a way that you KNOW he's a reader. Buy this book! You'll have a richer life if you apply its teachings.

I read MAXIMIZE THE MOMENT shortly after reading THE LADY HER LOVER AND HER LORD, and thought it was even better! The principles that Bishop Jakes teaches are right from the Bible, and he makes them understandable and applicable to our lives. Clearly, this is a man who speaks God's word with passion, clarity, and sincerity. There is so much power in this book that I will be re-reading it and using the principles for years to come. It will help me be a better person, and a better servant to God. My recommendation is to buy two copies -- one for yourself, and one for a friend!

I have referred this book to my business clients. Better than most `self-help' books, this work dignifies a person's starting point, supports their goals, and leads them to the balance necessary to continue ever-onward. Beneficial for all who don't mind hearing what works in this world to achieve personal success.

I read this book cover to cover---my first self-help book where i actually read tyhe whole thing! i reccommend that when reading this book, to highlight every statement that touches you, stands out to you, and inspires you. After finishing the book, i went back and wrote down everything that i had highlighted and placed the words in a journal so that i can refer to td jakes' words over and over again! this book is a must read. you will enjoy it, pick it up!

This book is great for those seeking motivation. The author made me feel as if he was talking to me directly. Many topics discussed in this book were issues I had faced in my life at one time or another and I could really connect to the author. I completed this book in three days and I am ready for another motivational book by this author. I found it hard to separate myself for the pages of this book. T.D.Jakes is a inspiring author. This book lets everyone know how important it is to maximize everyday. I would advise anyone who seeks motivation or who needs inspiration in order to whether a storm needs to pick up this book.

This truly one of those precious gifts that God likes to give to his children. just when you thought you could'nt heres how you can. get the most out of your life out of every moment by maximizing. dont spend another moment wasted and dont go back to life as usual, come out of where you are and be who you are and dont come out empty theres some much god has instore for you and you can have it all this is how.
