Summary: Excellent Resource for Current and Aspiring Leaders!
Comment: In my humble opinion, The Maxwell Leadership Bible is better than any of the books, simply because Maxwell takes the core concepts from his various books and shows how they are applied in the Bible.
For example, Maxwell includes:
1. Excerpts from the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and 21 Indispensible Qualities of a Leader books.
2. Over 100 biographical profiles from people in the Bible.
3. A brief introduction to each book of the Bible and how leadership principles were applied.
4. Short articles and "Read As You Go" notes as you progress through the Bible.
5. Topical index of various leadership materials.
The reader has to bear in mind that this not necessarily a study Bible but a Bible whose focus is leadership. With the failures the world has recently seen in the ministry, politics, and business, Maxwell's Leadership Bible is welcomed read for those who are looking for a biblical basis for how to/how not to lead.
Maxwell's premise is that leaders are to serve others (just like Jesus) and not lord it over them (like worldly "leadership" so often does.). Quite frankly, I find much inspiration from the Scriptures to lead properly and not cut corners when the pressure is turned up.
All in all, a highly recommended read for the Christian who wants to learn (and get encouragement) on how to lead from a biblical basis. The non-Christian can also benefit from the book by considering how the biblical type of leadership so often contrasts with worldly leadership. Everyone will benefit by considering how his/her leadership qualities compare with the Bible.
Read and be encouraged!

Summary: A Must Have For All Christians In Ministry & Leadership
Comment: I've heard John Maxwell speak at Promise Keepers. This was back when he was still a church pastor. Even then, he was quite a comminucator. He good deliver an excellent message and get his ideas across to anyone listening. He was and still a powerful teacher and speaker.
I haven't read any of his books on leadership. So I don't know how much of his leadership Bible compares to any of them. But I read this Bible cover-tocover during my daily devotional time in 2002. Prior to reading this Bible, I never viewed the Bible as a leadership book overall.
What John Maxwell does is take the Bible and views it from the vantage point of leaders and leadership. He explains the Bible books, characters, and stories and shows how leaders can use it to learn what to do and what not to do. If you're a pastor (as I am) or involved in any other type of leadership, you won't see leadership the same way again after reading and using this Bible. To every thing that's in the Bible, you'll see it in whole new light. And if you're like me, you'll see yourself differently in terms of being a Christian leader. You'll also see those that you're leading differently, too.
As another reader stated, this is not a good Bible for the average layman that isn't called to leadership. But if you're in leadership, this book is a must have. And if you know someone in leadership or is called to leadership and isn't there yet, this book would make an excellent gift.
Kudos to John Maxwell! Well done!

Summary: A FABULOUS FIND!!
Comment: 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.
