4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good study bible
This is a pretty good study bible. It covers a lot of fascinating leadership concepts using scripture to draw out principles that Maxwell teaches. There are many instances of leadership passages or points that are skipped or missed, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So it is NOT an authoritative or exhaustive work on leadership issues in the bible...

2.0 out of 5 stars The Maxwell Leadership Bible
The book is much more complicated than I expected. I really like John Maxwell but I was expecting the book to be something I could sit down and read all the way through. Instead, it's the whole Bible. I will use it but not the way I had thought.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good study bible, October 24, 2005
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
This is a pretty good study bible. It covers a lot of fascinating leadership concepts using scripture to draw out principles that Maxwell teaches. There are many instances of leadership passages or points that are skipped or missed, whether intentionally or unintentionally. So it is NOT an authoritative or exhaustive work on leadership issues in the bible.

I would recommend this only as a resource for doing bible study on leadership. One must do their own exegesis of the text to see if the study bible's main points really match what the bible says there or if there is some tendency to insert Maxwellian ideas into the text.

Generally speaking, this is a great tool that I use from time to time. As a pastor, I am always looking for good materials on leadership development. I think John Maxwell generally has some of the best material on the market for leaders, and this study bible has notes that fit in well with the rest of his 'stuff'.

I hope you enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, October 16, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
The leadership bible not only is a bible but it gives you all of the insight to the laws of leadership and leaders in the bible. Our Sunday School class is using this as a study to improve our leadership skills to minister. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a better understanding of the bible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential for leaders no matter what your religion is, March 9, 2007
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
Few authors touch on such fundamental and basic truths of leadership as Maxwell does. As someone who has been in formal leadership positions for over a decade, I always learn and am refreshed from Maxwell's ability to break down leadership into it's core elements.

Of course, Maxwell is taking examples from the ultimate leader, GOD. This bible is easy to read, accessible for readers of any faith and I believe is a must have for any spiritual leader looking to excel in leadership and glorify the word of God or just plain lead and serve others.

This is a definite must for the belivers working in any organization (Christian or Secular). This has leadership concept which can be taught to the Business Students.

We have always known the Bible has lot of management principles. This book brings it very clearly and in a simple language.

I have become a more serious student of God's Word with this Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secrets to becoming a great leader, November 2, 2007
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
Harvard recently ranked Dr. John C. Maxwell as America's #1 leadership expert, yet you probably didn't know that he said the secret to everything he knows about leadership he learned in the pages of the Bible. This is a remarkable resource, because it takes hundreds of insights from Maxwell's teaching and wraps them around the pages of both the old and new testaments of a full version of scripture. It has an easy to use cross-reference system that includes quotes and insights from many of his best selling books on leadership and is an excellent addition to anyones top shelf already in a leadership position looking for bullet points of truth to use in building a stronger team.

This is a great tool for you as a leader, and an even better one to give as a graduation gift because it's designed to rocket the reader forward in their own success journey with courage, character and the strength of personal conviction. Regardless of your faith background, you'll benefit from Maxwell's practical teachings to make you a better leader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bible for Leaders is SUPERB!, October 11, 2007
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
This has been such a inspirational tool for me to embrace the role of a leader. The different perspectives on the roles of some of the most famous and not so famous characters in the bible really shows how God uses everyone where they are to "lead" but mostly to just be good examples. I really enjoy this bible and often read my devotional or NIV bibles for specific study groups and then compare the translation with my leadership bible for a twist on the meaning.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
This is the second copy of the Maxwell Leadership Bible that I've purchased. I got one as a present and it was so great I bought one to give as a present. Over and over Maxwell pulls out great applications from the Word that are clear and easy to understand. He helps to align business themes with scripture and does so with solid theology and candor. You can't lose by purchasing this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good connection between the word and leadership, November 5, 2006
This review is from: The Maxwell Leadership Bible: Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God (Hardcover)
It's a complete bible Old and New Testament plus little excerpts that connect what the word is saying to every day life leadership and living. The first of each book also starts out with a small summery of the book for us new readers. Definitely a wonderful, every day reader. Thanks
