Running With the Giants

What Old Testament Heroes Want You to Know About Life and Leadership (Unabr.)

By: John C. Maxwell

Narrated by: John C. Maxwell

Length: 1 hr and 38 mins

Publisher's summary

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

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.

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.

Listen to everything by John C. Maxwell.

Critic reviews

"John Maxwell is the best at communicating biblical truths about management in a simple, usable format. Running with the Giants is the best thus far. I recommend it highly." (Larry Burkett, host, Money Matters)

More about religion than business

I was looking for books on people management and thought this might be good judging from the reviews. If you are not religious then you may want to look for another book. I was hoping this book would be more about business than about god and the bible but I was wrong. If you listen carefully you can extract some useful information.

Took a lot

I took a lot in listening to this, it had helped me see a different side of the people who had struggle in the bible but had great wisdom coming out of those struggles. Give me the strength and the will to carry on and would recommend to anyone.

Incredible and Powerful!

“Running With the Giants” is such an inspiring little book. It has touched me for years. We are getting ready to use it for a Sunday School lesson...the second time I have led with it! Get your copy today...and be a giant of faith tonight!

Really good stuff in here

I was a bit hesitant when i saw it was ago short but as i listened i realized it's so short because it's packed tight with wisdom and doesn't fluff things up too much. I'll probably be coming back to this one again.

What a powerful message from heaven

Listening to John Maxwell tell the story of so many powerful leaders in The Bible is absolutely amazing thank you for the encouragement to continue on and never stop.

John Tells This Narrative Perfectly!

AMAZING!

This is a great motivator from the historic figures of the Bible!
Told in a way that makes it come alive & real for your daily life & struggles!

Excellent insight and inspiration!

I have read or listened to this book twice and will probably read it again.

The principles and the truths are ones to be reviewed over and over in order to implement them in different situations.

I especially appreciated the focus on Biblical characters and the lessons we can all learn from them.

I like the way he wove the lessons to be leaned into stories because it makes the principles easier to remember.

I highly recommend this book!
