Rating: Summary: Maxwell Delivers Great Leadership Resource! Review: The Maxwell Study Bible is fantastic resource for those who are in leadership. John's insights are not only helpful, but very timely and well spaced. This is not a "Study Bible" for insights into Greek, Hebrew or a commentary through various passages on Christian living, per se. However, a brilliant study of leadership and it's principles as displayed through God's word. If you are a student of leadership, this is not only a must have - it is an essential piece on the subject. I applaud Dr. Maxwell for a work that is a breath of fresh air.
Rating: Summary: A FABULOUS FIND!! Review: This is an incredible resource for growing in servant leadership skills and training others in service based leadership, which we Christians, who are all called to be an influence, do in some fashion and degree. While there are literally thousands of books on leadership, none are as comprehensive as this particular topical Bible which speaks specifically to that issue with a wealth of information and principles gathered from other sources and Maxwell's own personal experience and application; and the best part is it's Biblical base. He has done all the leg work...you just have to "sit and soak." If servant styled leadership is your agenda, you just can't miss with this one. I appreciate authors who can take the Word of God and topicalize it for intensified specific study in a particular area and this Maxwell does superbly in the leadership area. Read along with "Jesus on Leadership" by Gene Wilkes.If you are looking for a good "regular" or "general" study Bible, I would not recommend this one to you. All the charts, lists, notes, inserts, bullet points, commentaries, chapter and section lead ins, etc. are all leader focused/oriented.
