A Leader’s Heart by John Maxwell
A Leader’s Heart by John Maxwell is a 365 day devotional journal that includes a Bible verse with a leadership principle from one of Maxwell’s publications. Each month has a specific theme and each day has a principle and an application question (and space for an answer) that helps you focus and apply that principle to your day.
First of all, the colors are very nice–instead of a black, a dark brown font color helps relax the eyes. And there’s a nice border design at the top of each page. Plus, the cover is sturdy, textured and looks classy.
I also love how the devotional is set up–to make it more personal, he included an application question and space to answer. Maxwell is always great communicator–making difficult concepts easy to understand–and it definitely shows in the devotional. One of my favorites include, “Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously”–Maxwell gives his own take on the subject, includes a little anecdote about Calvin Coolidge to solidify the concept, gives some advice (laugh it off!) and then in the application question, asks: “How do you relax?” So simple and effective!
A Leader’s Heart 365 Day Devotional would be a great gift for others and for yourself!
