NIV Maxwell Leadership Bible 3rd Edition, Premium Bonded Leather Burgundy Comfort Print

NIV Maxwell Leadership Bible

3rd Edition, Premium Bonded Leather Burgundy Comfort Print

Book Description

Every believer is a person of influence. In the Maxwell Leadership Bible, leadership expert John C. Maxwell shows you the principles of leadership taught in God’s Word and how to use them. Whether you are an employee, a boss, a parent, or a neighbor, you are a person of influence in your part of the world. Throughout the pages of Scripture, John Maxwell has assembled the time-tested and irrefutable biblical principles of leadership to equip and encourage leaders with his signature approach, including the 21 Laws of Leadership, the 21 Qualities of a Leader, biographical profiles, and hundreds of notes.
Features include:
Now available in the NIV Comfort Print® typefaceOver 120 “Profiles in Leadership” lessons drawn from the people of the BibleHundreds of compelling short articles and notes on mentoring and influenceA complete reference index to the 21 Laws of Leadership and the 21 Qualities of a LeaderClear and readable 10-point print size.


MY REVIEW 

First of all, I wasn’t sure the difference between a Leadership Bible and a study Bible. And in this John Maxwell Leadership Bible, the main features showing this difference is: Number one; The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership which would be in-depth articles that reveal these laws as seen in the lives of Bible people. And Number two; which would be The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader, and this is insightful articles showing positive and negative examples of these qualities. Also the remaining features are all dealing with leadership in some way. You will find many profiles that tell of the events and times in people’s life that reveal God’s truths about leadership. As well as articles and topical indexes that will give you many insights into how to be a better leader. 

As for the Bible itself, the one I am reviewing is a soft leather like cover in burgundy. I was surprised that it is not a really big heavy Bible. The pages look and feel to be a good quality, and the font it pretty easy to read. To the older eyes, it may not be so much of a comfort print, but I do think it is a better print than most regular font print Bibles. It is a beautiful Bible, one that will be a nice addition to your Bible study tools. And it would make a beautiful gift as well. You can’t go wrong with this new edition of the John Maxwell Leadership Bible! 


This book was given to me by the publisher to read and review and post what I think about the story. This review offers my opinion only.

Harper’s second chance at life will become a second stint in prison if anyone connects her to those two dead men.
Nutfield, New Hampshire, is as good a place as any to hide from the murderer Harper left behind in Maryland. All she has to do is lie low and make enough money to keep herself and Red alive until she can figure out who her enemies are.
Jack Rossi is mystified by his beautiful new tenant and her confused grandfather. Something's not right, but the love he sees between them and the care she takes of the old man convinces Jack they're trustworthy. As drawn as he is to Harper, she’s his tenant, so she’s off limits.
Derrick, Harper's ex-boyfriend and Red’s grandson, needs to find his grandfather and get his hands on the old man’s money before Derrick ends up with a bullet in the skull. And when he gets his hands on Harper, she’ll be sorry for what she’s put him through.
Harper and Jack grow closer, but so do her enemies. If the truth comes out, she may lose her freedom—or her life.

GLORY ROAD
By Lauren K. Denton






Book Description

Written in Lauren Denton’s signature Southern style, Glory Road tells the story of three generations of women navigating the uncertain pathways of their hearts during a summer that promises to bring change—whether they’re ready for it or not.
“Glory Road brims with faith and family, second chances, and new horizons.” —LISA WINGATE, New York Times bestselling author of Before We Were Yours
The only thing certain is change—even in a place as steady as Perry, Alabama, on a street as old as Glory Road.
Nearly a decade after her husband’s affair drove her back home to South Alabama, Jessie McBride has the stable life she wants—operating her garden shop, Twig, next door to her house on Glory Road, and keeping up with her teenage daughter and spunky mother. But the unexpected arrival of two men makes Jessie question whether she’s really happy with the status quo.
When handsome, wealthy businessman Sumner Tate asks her to arrange flowers for his daughter’s lavish wedding, Jessie finds herself drawn to his continued attention. Then Ben Bradley, her lingering what-could-have-been from high school, moves back to the red dirt road, and she feels her heart pulled in directions she never expected.
Meanwhile, Jessie’s fourteen-year-old daughter, Evan, is approaching the start of high school and navigating a new world of emotions—particularly as they relate to the cute new guy who’s moved in just down the road. At the same time, Jessie’s mother, Gus, is suffering increasingly frequent memory lapses and faces a frightening, uncertain future.
In one summer, everything will change. But for these three strong Southern women, the roots they’ve planted on Glory Road will give life to the adventures waiting just around the curve.
“Rich colorful characters capturing my heart, combined with a story that kept me up till the wee hours, Glory Road is a perfect read. Lauren Denton has done it again!” —Lisa Patton, bestselling author of Rush and Whistlin’ Dixie in a Nor’easter
“Once again Lauren Denton brings her lyrical writing and compelling characters to a story that will enthrall readers from page one.” —Marybeth Mayhew Whalen, author of Only Ever Her and co-founder of She Reads, for Glory Road
“From the opening of The Hideaway, the reader is captured by the voice of a woman who has for too long kept a story that must be told, one the reader wants to hear. Denton has crafted a story both powerful and enchanting: a don’t-miss novel in the greatest southern traditions of storytelling.” —Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author
“A poignant and heartfelt tale of sisterhood, motherhood, and marriage, Hurricane Season deftly examines the role that coming to terms with the past plays in creating a hopeful future. Readers will devour this story of the hurricanes—both literal and figurative—that shape our lives.” —Kristy Woodson Harvey, national bestselling author of Slightly South of Simple

MY REVEIW
It has been a long time since Jessie McBride has been back home to Alabama, but she finally here, and her life is stable and just the way she wants it to be. Her daughter Evan is nearing that high school age, and her mom Gus is just the same old mom, and Jessie is happy to be close to her again. But then two men makes their way to Alabama, and Jessie has trouble making up her mind of what she wants anymore. She's had one man to cheat on her and walk out. Can she trust another? And which man is the best for her? Jessie has some difficult decisions to make.

Author Lauren Denton keeps growing on me. Each book I read of hers is better than the last one. The characters are skillfully created and they develop well as the story progresses. I liked the spunky mom, Gus, she was quite fun and funny at times. Jessie has been through more than she needed, and it is tough for her to decided what to do about another relationship. There is a lot of tension in this book, and at times you can almost feel what the character is feeling. This is the expert writing of the author.

I thought the garden shop that Jessie started was a good choice for her, and she was able to make new friendships faster with the people coming in her store, something she really needed. With Jessie, her daughter and mom, plus the two interesting men, makes for a lot if interesting happenings in this story. But nothing else from me about this book. The rest is what you need to find out for yourself.

I received this book from BookLook Bloggers to read and review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 55.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Beauty in Flight (book #1)
Author: Robin Patchen
Publisher: JDO Publishing
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 22, 2019
Her beauty once opened doors, but the felony conviction now slams them shut. 
Harper Cloud used to love the gilded glamour of Las Vegas, but on the far side of prison, she sees the cracks in the veneer. These days, she keeps her head down and focuses on the elderly patients in her care. Even her new wealthy east-coast boyfriend, Derrick, can't entice her away. She's trusted men before, andlook where that got her.
She tries to brush off the feeling that she's being watched. She won't allow a baseless paranoia to derail her life. But when she's followed home one night, her pursuer gets within a hair's breadth of grabbing her. She knows it's time to get away from Las Vegas.
Maybe Derrick can be trusted. Maybe his job offer—to care for his aging grandfather in Maryland—will be the second chance she needs.
But Derrick has secrets of his own, secrets that could take him down--and take Harper with him.
Can there be a second chance for someone like her? 
EXCERPT FROM BEAUTY IN FLIGHT
What about Derrick? He’d sworn he didn’t have expectations for their relationship, but she’d never met a man who didn’t give without expecting something in return. What would he expect from her? 
Right now, he acted as if she were his lifeline. He called her every night before bed and again on his way to work every morning. Flew to Vegas to visit her every chance he got. 
“You’re my anchor,” he’d told her. “My salvation.” 
The words worried her. She could barely take care of herself. How could she be another person’s salvation? 
And what did he need to be saved from?

March 1st 2019 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Can he stop the one who got away—
from getting away again?
Everyone in her Alaskan town hopes Iris James is back for good. Including Dr. Flynn Ramsey, who stole her heart when they were awkward teenagers. She realizes he’s planning an encore, but a prestigious job in Washington, DC, is calling to her. Only, ever since their kiss at her brother’s wedding, Iris isn’t sure about anything. Except her reignited feelings for Flynn…
Excerpt
With Flynn’s hand branding Iris’s bare back, he led her to the dance floor. Gentle notes of a popular love song filled the air, so Flynn gathered her in his embrace and made dancing seem as easy as everything else he did. The satisfied smile playing on his lips caused Iris’s heart to execute a slow cartwheel inside her chest. She should be used to this, to him, by now.
Lowering her voice to a whisper, she said, “Thank you for that. I owe you one. It was probably a little over-the-top, but I appreciate your dramatic flair. I’m sure they’re still talking about it.”
He dipped his head, and whispered near her ear, “I could not possibly care any less than I do about Faith or Ashley. And I only care about Todd in that I don’t want you singing any duets with him.”
“I hadn’t planned to but...” Her throat went dry because his hand had returned to her back, where his thumb caressed the skin along the edge of her dress. “What are you doing?”
“Dancing. Is there something going on between you and Cricket?”
“What?” she answered, alarmed by the subject change. Did he know about the flying lessons? She wasn’t ready for anyone to know about that yet. “Like what? What do you mean by ‘something’?”
Eyes narrowed and assessing, he clarified, “Are you two romantically involved?”
“Oh.” She laughed, and then paused to process the question. She didn’t want to tell him the truth, but she also didn’t want him thinking that. “That’s not what’s going on,” she said, and then realized that she’d inferred that something was.
“What is going on, then?”
“Nothing. I mean, he is helping me with something. But we’re just friends. He’s practically like a brother to me, you know that.”
“I do, I was just confirming it before I did something.”
“What?”
Tightening his hold, he twirled her around. She said, “Oh, I get it. They’re still watching, right?”
Flynn chuckled softly, shifting his focus to meet her gaze again. His brown eyes seemed to burn into hers. “No, I don’t think you do get it,” he murmured. “But then again, I didn’t really get it, either.”
“Get what? Flynn, what are you...?” Her question trailed off because he was staring at her mouth. The heat from her cheeks was apparently burning through to her brain because she could not think straight. Much less talk.
“Maybe this will help.”
Then his mouth brushed against hers in the sweetest, most perfect caress. Flynn was kissing her? Yes, he sure was, and his lips were velvety soft and completely perfect, and she couldn’t—she wouldn’t—think past that. Instead, she kissed him back, pressing her mouth more firmly to his. One hand came up to grip his shoulder. Before she could do more than that, his soft lips were gone.
“Iris,” he whispered, “I’m...” He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against hers for a second before slipping a hand around the back of her neck. He pressed a gentle kiss against her forehead and tucked her in close again. “Give me a second.”
Iris focused on trying to move air in and out of her lungs, but with her cheek pressed against his chest, every breath was Flynn-scented with hints of spicy soap and cedar boughs. Flynn had just kissed her. What did that mean? What did she do now? Panic welled inside of her because it couldn’t mean anything.
A chuckle vibrated through him. “That should give everyone something to talk about, huh?”
Of course, she realized, he’d kissed her for her, to help her. Thank goodness, he’d broken it off before she’d said, or done, something truly embarrassing. Her cheeks ignited with heat as she imagined herself clinging to him like a spider monkey on the dance floor.

The daughter of what is now known as free range parents, she developed a love of the outdoors at a very early age. As a writer, Carol loves to breathe the life she has lived into the characters she creates, grateful for the “research material” that every questionable decision, adrenaline-charged misstep, and near-death experience has provided.
