Himself an inspiration to millions through his motivational speeches and bestselling books, John C. Maxwell reaches out to the leading icons of the Old Testament for the life and leadership lessons conveyed in his thought-provoking albeit slim Running with the Giants. Maxwell, author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and a half-dozen other books on the topic, writes here that biblical personalities like Abraham, Joseph, and Moses can provide us with the real 'inspiration, wisdom, and empowerment' we need to lead. For example, Maxwell explains, Noah's actions teach us that 'one person can make a difference'; he then fleshes out relevant maxims like 'Don't be afraid to stand out in a crowd' and 'Don't be afraid to do something for the first time' to bring this concept into the 21st century. Likewise, the servant girl from the book of Kings shows us how 'one small act can make a big difference,' but for it to happen today one must be confident and credible and 'speak to people's needs.' Those committed to the sources from which Maxwell draws will particularly appreciate his take on the lessons they impart, as well as his athletically inspired theme and contemporary presentation. --Howard Rothman

It is disappointing for this author, whose supposedly ordained office requires him to jealously guard the Word of God, to misuse the text in this manner.Making out the Bible to be a book of moral lessons rips the scripture out of its redemptivehistorical context and ignores Christ.
