For over 7 years now, I always make it a point to read a few paragraphs from this book every night :D Of course, there are nights that I forget to remember to read from this book, but I realize that I've been so used to this practice that I end up doing again the reading the next evening before I sleep. It's one of the moments when you can allow yourself to reflect on what happened in nearly the past 24 hours, and you can use this book to serve as one of your guides.
This book, of course, is far from easy to read, as it's intimidating, and is made up of several smaller books inside its pages. And its main sources, that predate written human history, are up to now being debated, hotly contested upon by those involved in religion, or in anything that is organized as a set-up to perpetuate one individual's or a group's political position, or ranking in societies where these religions have originated from. It's eternally inspiring, if you allow yourself to be inspired, and get yourself from being skeptic, or to say the least, scholarly with your tastes on books to read.
Maxwell has come up with his own set of annotations to better describe and explain the context of the books of the Bible, always focusing on the essence of leadership. I am a practising Catholic myself, and I've found out some books in this Bible are missing, when I compared it with the authorized version of the Catholic Church (particularly the book of Sirach). Of course, there are a lot of books that have been left out or were not included in the processes called "Synod" by the Catholic Church where top ranking officials and Bible authorities have agreed and studied what have to be included in the Bible for many centuries now. And as this practice continues, apparently, with some other groups, more debate and discussion ensue. I'm glad as well that the Bible when it has evolved from its un-compiled form mainly from Greek sources into its Latin version was pioneered by a saint, with the name (same as mine!), Jerome. This so called "Latin Vulgate" which was written in the language that used to be the lingua franca of the Western World, was then the main source of the English bible, and the other versions, plus other editions of the Bible that we have now.
