Maxwell draws on fifty years of studying the Bible to share the stories of Elijah, Elisha, Job, Jacob, Deborah, Isaiah, Jonah, Joshua and Daniel. These people fought and won epic battles, served kings, and endured great hardships for God to come out on the other side transformed through His grace. Through them Maxwell explores timeless lessons we can learn about leadership, ourselves, and our relationship with God Mentors for a day -- Elijah, for when you feel alone and rejected -- Elisha, for when you wonder if your life counts -- Job, for when you're suffering -- Jacob, for when your life isn't turning out the way you hoped -- Deborah, for when success seems impossible -- Isaiah, for when you feel far from God -- Jonah, for when you've made bad choices -- Joshua, for when you feel overwhelmed -- Daniel, for when the odds are against you -- End of day John C.
