Letter from the Editor
Welcome to The Maxwell Leadership Bible. You may be aware that the Bible can change your life. Did you know that it can also change your leadership? I say that because the Bible is the greatest leadership book of all time. Everything I know about leadership and have taught for nearly fifty years I learned from reading and studying the Bible.
My desire in creating this new edition of The Maxwell Leadership Bible is to help you reach your potential in Christ. To create the first edition, my team and I pulled together everything I had ever taught on leadership taken from Scripture. We went through every sermon I’d preached, every lesson I’d taught, and every marginal note I’d written in all my Bibles. That first edition of The Maxwell Leadership Bible was published in 2002, and as I write this, nearly a million people have benefited from it. I can’t express how rewarding it’s been to hear stories of people whose lives have been impacted. Pastors have said that their preaching and ministry have been enriched by the leadership lessons they found in there; followers of Christ have shared how they discovered their own leadership ability and took a more active role in their churches because of it; and businesspeople who read the Bible for the first time looking to improve their leadership encountered God and accepted Christ as a result.
As you read this Bible, be assured that God’s purpose for you will be fulfilled. His Word will accomplish His desire in you. And my hope is that the included leadership lessons that accompany God’s Word will add value to you as God guides you in His eternal purpose for you. May it be a blessing to you, as you are a blessing to others.
John C. Maxwell

About Comfort Print
The NIV Comfort Print Typeface was designed by 2K/Denmark as a special commission. The typeface takes inspiration from clear, distinct Aramaic limestone inscriptions of the Second Temple period and pays homage to the NIV's balanced translation approach, striking the fine line between accuracy to the ancient texts and readability. The result is a distinctive new Bible typeface that is uncompromisingly beautiful, bold, readable at any size, and perfectly suited to the NIV Maxwell Leadership Bible.
