Running with the Giants: What the Old Testament Heroes Want You to Know About Life and Leadership

Description of Running with the Giants:

How would the legendary figures in the Bible advise us today? We're running the race of our lives and it's a long one. We need encouragement along the way-a cheering grandstand or a personal trainer or two. John Maxwell reminds us that even in a modern world, the greatest inspiration is still found within the pages of the Old Testament. In Running with the Giants, Maxwell brings those great personalities to life. David would remind us how to overcome adversity. Noah would tell us not to fear doing the impossible. And Rebekah would urge us to give and serve generously. Each of these and the many other biblical figures Maxwell examines can motivate believers toward their personal best in the marathon of life.

In the race of life - a contest of stamina, endurance, faith, and understanding - we are never alone. Others have run it before us. In John C. Maxwell's vision of humanity, they are in the stands, urging us one, praying for us, and offering the wisdom of their experience. We need only listen for their voices and hear their stories to turn our modern-day challenges into victories.A man named Noah knows how great a difference a single individual can make in the world. His hope for us: "Don't be afraid to do something for the first time." A woman named Esther takes the ultimate risk and stands up for her people. She prays to God to help us look beyond adveristy: "Empower them to fulfill the purpose for which You have called them."A boy named Joseph knows the race of life never goes according to plan.

From Rebekah to David, Abraham to Moses, Running with the Giants puts us face-to-face with the towering figures of the Bible. From these great heroes and from the inimitable John C. Maxwell - comes the inspiration to live as they did: as leaders, as success stories, and as people close to God.
