He moves from this introduction to the matter of abiding in Jesus. He talks about the Scripture of glorifying the Father by producing fruit. Fruit is produced as we abide in Jesus. We're admonished, "Feed your mind on things that will help you think right and then reproduce."

The section on dreams is quite thrilling. Dr. Maxwell helps us grasp how real, how vital, how life-giving dreams are. Goals coupled with passion lead to success.

Outstanding tool for your personal transformation   July 30, 2000

I've read dozens of inspirational and self-help books, and still think that "Be All You Can Be" is a must for all who want to make their life worthwhile. John C. Maxwell is not trying to impress the reader with strange and unheard ideas. He is far from adverting any of controversial methods of "self-realization". In this book you will find sound Christian approach to success, combined with down-to-earth common sense and a heathy dose of humor. The author does not believe that there are shortcuts to releasing of our God-given potential, so those folks who are looking for quick-fixes could be disappointed. However, if you are serious and willing to put God's principles to work for you, this book will prove to be an outstanding tool of your personal transformation.
