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.

How does a person judge what is ethical? Sometimes it's clear. In the past couple of years, ethical lapses in corporate America have been well-documented. However, it's not always easy to see where the line is in life. What's the standard? Can it work in all situations? John C. Maxwell thinks it can. In this book he reveals how people can live with integrity by using the Golden Rule as their standard - regardless of religion, culture or circumstances. Along the way he delves into the desires of the human heart, reveals the five most common pitfalls that throw people off the ethical track and teaches how to develop the Midas touch when it comes to personal integrity.

And he reveals a definition that puts genuine success within your reach yet motivates you to keep striving for your dreams. I want to help you discover your personal road map for success, teach you what it means to be on the success journey, answer many of your questions, and equip you with what you'll need to change yourself and keep growing. - John C. Maxwell
