Overview

How would the legendary figures in the Bible advise us today? We're running the race of our lives and it's a long one. We need encouragement along the way-a cheering grandstand or a personal trainer or two. John Maxwell reminds us that even in a modern world, the greatest inspiration is still found within the pages of the Old Testament. In RUNNING WITH THE GIANTS, Maxwell brings those great personalities to life. David would remind us how to overcome adversity. Noah would tell us not to fear doing the impossible. And Rebekah would urge us to give and serve generously. Each of these and the many other biblical figures Maxwell examines can motivate believers toward their personal best in the marathon of life.

This book made some very complex Biblical characters seem very one-dimensional. While the messages from each character were good, and in-depth study of each of them, including their flaws, would be much more revealing about how each one of us has a unique and personal relationship with God.

Very Bible based... Not being a religious wise man, it was too over my head to understand.
