Publisher's summary

If you could spend a few minutes with the giants of faith in the Old Testament in person, what lessons would they share with you? In Learning from the Giants, John C. Maxwell draws on 50 years of studying the Bible to share the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Job, Jacob, Deborah, Isaiah, Jonah, Joshua and Daniel. These people fought and won epic battles, served kings, and endured great hardships for God to come out on the other side transformed through His grace. Through them Maxwell explores timeless lessons we can learn about leadership, ourselves, and our relationship with God.

another good read

I enjoy John C. Maxwell's style of writing in this book as well as the other two similar ones. I feel as if he invited me into his home as a friend to spend a day while high caliber guests enter, stay awhile, and then depart. It gives me a sense of importance that I can be a part of the experience. Chris Sorensen did a superb job in vocalizing each character to keep them distinct in my mind.

Amazing book but I can’t listen any longer

I know the book is great I wanted a audio so I can listen as I work . But lord forgive me I couldn’t focus with the voice of whoever is reading. I got about 3 min in and my mind shut off. I’ve really got to start listening to the sample first … because I know I won’t be able to finish. It .

We do learn from uncommon situations.

The story about Job and his life struggles really hit home for me. Please continue producing books like this.
