In My Own Words:
I have a confession to make: I don’t always practice what I preach. As much as I’d like to be the ideal ambassador for Christ, I fall short. Daily. I’m quick to spot fault in others, irreverent, politically incorrect, lustful, often full of pride, fluent in sarcasm, and don’t respond well to criticism. I don’t even fold my own laundry.

I’m quick to spot fault in others, irreverent, politically incorrect, lustful, often full of pride, fluent in sarcasm, and don’t respond well to criticism. I don’t even fold my own laundry. As John White says in The Fight, “Transformation is not an overnight matter. It takes a lifetime.” I am a work in progress.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. Some small, some huge. At the lowest point of my spiritual life I even considered leaving my wife and children for another relationship. That was the biggest blunder of my life! I thank God every day for my prayerful and faithful wife who stuck with me, and for our four amazing children.
Through it all I’ve found that I respond best to love and grace, but not very well to hate and condemnation.
Some may look at my past and dismiss this confession as self-serving, insincere hogwash. And that’s ok. My defense is not in spinning words, but in how I live my life from this moment forward.
I will never have all the answers, but I love finding them. And sharing them when I do.
It is my prayer and hope that together we may grow to know, accept and experience God’s love. To discern and choose God’s direction over distraction. Grace over guilt. Heaven over hell. Life over death. And eternal treasures over temporary pleasures.
My name is Larry Hehn, and I’m a Christian in the Rough.

I've read at least six other Maxwell books, and this is the least memorable of all. It's not that there is a lack of content here...looking back through the book, there is a lot of good advice that would be valuable in developing your sphere of influence. It just seems to be an awkward assembly of borrowed wisdom that didn't stick once I closed the cover. Maybe it's because the majority of the content is repeated from Maxwell's other books. It's not unusual to find two or three quotes or excerpts from other books on each page, which limits the amount of "original" material and seriously hampers the flow. It almost appears that Maxwell and Dornan wrote separately, then did their… Read more

Here John Maxwell has expanded his 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership into a 21-week study, using different biblical characters to illustrate each one of the 21 laws. Each week is broken down into five days, making it an excellent workplace study. Lessons from Days 1 through 4 start with a thought for the day and a biblical passage, then close with a question for you to reflect on. Day 5 summarizes the week in brief sections that help you to absorb the week's material, sort it out, pray through it, apply it to your own life, and pass it on to another leader. Obviously, this book is not aimed at the secular crowd, and is much more beneficial to those who have read the 21 Irrefutable… Read more

Remember those old K-Tel albums, the collections of assorted artists gathered under a special theme? Y'know, Southern Fried Rock, Hits of the 80s, 24 Great Truckin' Songs...all those classics? (Just kidding.) Imagine a collection of thirty leading Christian authors, sharing their insights on holiness, temptation and sexual purity. With 30 daily studies from the likes of J.I. Packer, Neil Anderson, Chuck Colson, Max Lucado, Bill Hybels, Charles Spurgeon, Bruce Wilkinson, Charles Swindoll and Randy Alcorn, there is no fluff here. Each day is an insightful, no-punches-pulled look into areas of a man's life that are very real, yet often difficult to address. It doesn't say so on the… Read more
