The Maxwell Leadership Bible

A Book Review for The Randleman Review

The Maxwell Leadership BibleI have been a longtime fan and reader of the leadership material produced by John Maxwell.

I was first introduced to Maxwell at an InJoy conference several years ago that our ministry staff went to in the Kansas City area, and was immediately hooked. Since that time, I have read several of his books, and gained a lot of leadership abilities from doing so.

Maxwell spent the first portion of his career in ministry, and that influenced a lot of his leadership abilities. Drawing lessons from the Word of God was a natural connection, and an excellent source of foundational material for successful leadership. Seeing a need in contemporary society for leadership, and recognizing the void that existed in this area, Maxwell began to implement biblical principles into the leadership framework, and has since become a mainstay in the leadership community.

It was only natural, then, to produce a Bible with footnotes based on a theme of leadership. Inside The Leadership Bible, Maxwell has given overviews of each book, with emphasis on leadership material found within that book. From there, on various pages throughout Scripture, you can find various examples of the Laws of Leadership, and leadership profiles of people found within the pages of God’s Word.

This edition of The Maxwell Leadership Bible is hardbound, and is presented in a classy, durable fashion for serious study of God’s Word and the leadership principles it contains. It is an excellent resource, and one I recommend for anyone in leadership. The lessons contained in the Word of God, and insights drawn from those lessons by Maxwell, are a tremendous help for anyone studying God’s Word.

The only negative aspect, in my opinion, is that it is in the NIV 2011 translation. I prefer other translations over this one, and you can get this in the NKJV as well.
