This book by Maxwell brings a much more religious slant than his more modern material. It has great life lessons, as does all of John's books, but this is a much more meditative work based on self reflection based on your faith.

Another terrific book by John Maxwell. I read on reviewer who said he recycles the same ideas, while I can not totally disagree I find the context that he puts the ideas in is always different and helps me to apply the ideas in a different way. I often give his books as gifts to others and those receiving soon follow suit. Think on These Things has a way of penetrating the inner workings of day to day leadership and living, when you don't even know you need it ;-)
