The Leadership Bible offers 52 weeks of practical studies on contemporary leadership issues that will help you experience a quantum leap in your leadership effectiveness. In just 15 minutes a day, you'll discover how to improve your personal development skills and relationships by following Biblical leadership principles.

The Leadership bible also includes: Book Introductions that underscore key leadership concepts in every book of the bible. Study Windows that reinforce your understanding of Biblical leadership throughout the text. Character Profiles that show you how the personal attributes and decisions of Biblical leaders determined their effectiveness. Topical Index that directs you to the Bible passages that are most relevant to your specific concerns. In the Study Helps, an NIV side-column reference system and a concordance that round out this Bible's many helpful features. And, of course, the Leadership bible includes the complete text of the New International Version, whose accuracy and readability have made it today's best-selling translation.

This is the most practical leadership bible I've read. Yes, even better than Maxwell's.

Great journey with this book. I read the week's study every day then I read my daily chapter(whatever the day of the month it is) of Proverbs(repeat each month).
Been dong this for 15 years!
Highly recommend the Leadership Bible for its practical insights of the Leadership topics, the experts perspective for each topic, and then the constant challenge of being better.
This is, by far, the single most important thing I have.

As a Christian who is a leader, it's the best book I have read on leadership in the market place. I recommend it for all Christians and for all those who wish to combine reading bible and leadership tips. It's such a great combination. It's awesome and excellent read.

One star is probably too uncharitable because it does include the Bible. Yet this is still pretty awful. Does Jesus' selection of his disciples really teach us important lessons about organizational staffing and hiring?
I'm not sure it does, and find it more than a little offensive that the editors think the Bible can be strip-mined for nuggets that can be crammed into the insights of popular management literature (I'm a fan of leadership/management studies...but not in this context).
I'm pretty sure this started off with a good idea: "wow--look at this passage that illustrates something interesting about leadership and management. Wouldn't it be neat to have a publication that brings this out more explicitly?" Yes, it would be. Write a book. Quote from Scripture liberally (or, if you must, generously). :-) But don't reprint--and hijack--the entire Bible to make your point.
It is not a tame Book. And, while there's a lot of stuff that it does have to teach us with respect to lots of different things, its core function is something completely different. Just like it's not a science book, a historiographically rigorous history book, a cookbook, or (I'm sorry to admit) a comprehensive manual on politics, it's not a management textbook...and will let you down if you try to make it into one.

What makes this better than the Maxwell Bibles is that it combines writings from multiple Christian leaders of the 80's and 90's. The embedded readings provide for 52 Five day topical devotionals. Each with individual scripture and at least 300 word commentaries.
I have yet to find a better bible on leadership/stewardship. My only wish is that this would be transferred to NKJV and made available in ebook format.
