Customer Reviews

Very inspirational. Loved it.

This is the first book I've ready by Maxwell and it's wonderful. I will buy other books by him. He is inspirational.

Grow, and live more.

This book is good as a new read or as a reminder. Its sixteen chapters each focus on how different aspects of your character, emotions, actions, and attitudes are all a choice. This book is full of quotes from famous people on each topic. You will journey through Attitude, Character, Values, Self-Discipline, Commitment, Teachability, Initiative, Passion, Courage, Responsibility, Growth, Relationships, Communication, Encouragement, Servanthood and Love. You could flip to almost any page and read a quote or two and be motivated and challenged. This book is also a primer on Maxwell's thoughts, with an excerpt in almost every chapter from others of his books, up to Winning With People which came out in December 2004. This book is a great jumping off point for personal development. Maxwell states in The Choice is Yours "To gain `heat' for growth, we need to get close to those who are already hot. Here's how: Spend time with great people. Learn their great ideas through tapes, CD's, and DVD's 1. Visit Great places that will inspire you. 2. Attend great events that will prompt you to pursue change. 3. Read great books." P.90 Based on that imagery you can either be a coal in your own fire, or place yourself closer to other coals and burn brighter. I challenge you to read one or more of these books and see if you are not ignited.

another excellent book from John C. Maxwell

The Choice is Yours is not only a great book to give to a graduate, but an excellent book for leaders. It has great insights in making the right choices. Maxwell fills this book with quotes, and stories that will make it difficult for the reader to put the book down. He is an awesome author on leadership. I have most of his books, and tapes, and this one was a must to add to the collection.
