Maxwell's <I>The 21 Most Powerful Minutes in a Leader's Day</I> is actually 21 weeks' worth of bite-sized daily lessons on leadership, based on biblical principles and the figures who embody them. Maxwell, the popular author of more than two dozen books on personal and leadership development, has always based his teachings on scriptural tenets. This time, he turns more explicitly to the Bible to illustrate principles such as effectiveness, influence, empowerment, sacrifice, and timing, which he introduced in a well-received earlier book, <I>The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership</I>. Readings for the first four days of each week incorporate: a theme ("People teach what they know, but they reproduce what they are"); a tale that brings a relevant individual (such as Jesus, Moses, Esther, and Solomon) into the discourse on it; interpretations that shape the pertinent factors into a practical contemporary lesson; and a question to ponder that both personalizes and extends the message ("If you reproduced yourself in another leader, would you be pleased with the result?"). Each fifth day, Maxwell presents suggestions, including a specific prayer, to use in putting the ideas into practice. Maxwell's exclusively biblical approach will not be for everyone, but his points are universal in nature and generally on target. Any reader should be able to draw ideas and inspiration from them, and those who have made the Bible a part of their lives will likely find his vision particularly substantial and satisfying. --<I>Howard Rothman</I> 987113 12 9 2000 The 21 Most Powerful Minutes In A Leader's Day: Revitalize Your Spirit And Empower Your Leadership total:32|5:13|4:13|3:4|1:2| 32 131 73 7 3 0 true true Sun Feb 17 20:30:41 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 17 01:16:42 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Aug 07 10:23:07 -0700 2007 Tue Aug 07 10:25:28 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Aug 02 03:03:46 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 03:15:09 -0700 2007
