Leadership guru Maxwell, who successfully bridged secular andChristian markets with such motivational titles as The 21Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and Developing the Leader WithinYou, draws on Old Testament paragons in this gifty inspirationalhardback. Maxwell asks readers to envision the great "cloud ofwitnesses" (Heb. 12:1) said to surround us as we run the marathonof life, imagining that this cloud includes "the giants of thefaith"-biblical heroes whose lives impart meaningful lessons. Heincludes the usual suspects: the David-tackles-Goliath taledemonstrates how people can rise above their limitations, whileNoah exemplifies a willingness to take new risks (i.e., build aboat when no one had seen rain before). But there are boldermoments, too. Maxwell uses Rebekah as a model of generous giving (awelcome and underutilized virtue in business titles) and providessome gee-whiz facts to drive the point home: he estimates that towater Jacob's 10 camels, Rebekah needed about 200 gallons of water,requiring
