　　Leadership guru Maxwell, who successfully bridged secular and

Christian markets with such motivational titles as The 21

Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Developing the Leader Within

You, draws on Old Testament paragons in this gifty inspirational

hardback. Maxwell asks readers to envision the great "cloud of

witnesses" (Heb. 12:1) said to surround us as we run the marathon

of life, imagining that this cloud includes "the giants of the

faith"-biblical heroes whose lives impart meaningful lessons. He

includes the usual suspects: the David-tackles-Goliath tale

demonstrates how people can rise above their limitations, while

Noah exemplifies a willingness to take new risks (i.e., build a

boat when no one had seen rain before). But there are bolder

moments, too. Maxwell uses Rebekah as a model of generous giving (a

welcome and underutilized virtue in business titles) and provides

some gee-whiz facts to drive the point home: he estimates that to

water Jacob's 10 camels, Rebekah needed about 200 gallons of water,

requiring 40 trips to the well with a five-gallon jug. Such

specificity helps to put a face on the virtues extolled here and

offers readers a bit of insight into the Bible. Despite Maxwell's

overarching metaphor of a marathon, though, the book as a whole

feels more like a breathless sprint-intriguing points are raised

throughout, but these promising gems lack development.

书籍介绍

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.
