Running with the Giants

A Warner Faith Title
Also Available as a Time Warner AudioBook

John C. Maxwell, the New York Times bestselling author and motivational speaker, is known for his brilliant insights into the nature of leadership-and how we can tap into unfound abilities within ourselves. His new book turns to the wellspring of tradition, as he offers inspiration, learning, and the power of prayer from the lives of Old Testament heroes.

RUNNING WITH THE GIANTS 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 on, 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 adversity: "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. He urges us on: "When the dream is realized, it is sweeter than you can ever imagine."

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.
