Product Description

The people, events, and teachings of the Bible are a treasury of wisdom and guidance for anyone who has been called to be a leader, to develop leaders, or to work with leaders-in church, business, commerce, or anyplace else. The Maxwell Leadership Bible shows us what God's Word has to say to people of all kinds about leaders and leadership. It's a Bible resource that explains book by book what a godly leader is, what leadership means, what empowering others is about, and how God is glorified when we're all involved in His leadership plan for us.

Articles about the 21 Laws of Leadership in Scripture show us how these Laws are seen in the lives of Bible people. There are also articles about how the 21 Qualities of a Leader are shown in Scripture-in the cases of both those who got it right and those who got it wrong-and how people learned from their failures and became better leaders through God's redemptive process of education by experience.

Executive Editor John C. Maxwell has assembled biblical teaching to equip and encourage leaders and those who serve with them, to meet 21st-century challenges by using the time-tested and irrefutable principles of leadership that God has shown us in the Bible.

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.

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.

Awesome
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.

Essential for leaders no matter what your religion is
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.
