Simplify
Mr. Hybels has written an excellent book that will make
those who read it really stop and think “ SIMPLIFY”
Billy Hybels begins by giving us the basics, by defining
what we are simplifying, it is not just de-cluttering, and it is de-cluttering
our lives. That is de cluttering from
financial situations, learning to live within modest means using a 10-10-80
formula. He teaches us that we should
be living within our God given provision.
It’s learning to let past wrongs go, living in a life of
forgiveness, learning that life runs in seasons, and know what season you are
in how to live in that season.
How can we do this?
We can do this by running our lives through a filter of key
questions: 1. Will it bring true
satisfaction?
2. Does it align with God’s purpose for my life in this
season?
3. Does it help lead a life of significance?
If you want to change
you will have to just “do it”. He
recommends that you put your personal to do’s along with your other
requirements Mr. Hybels has written an excellent book that will make those who read it really stop and think “ SIMPLIFY”

Does it sound hard? Maybe can one do it? I believe so. I am one who is strong on simplifying, especially when it comes to life. Mr. Hybels has written a book that we can all use. He hits key topics, the first being finances. I believe this is one area where we can all simplify and learn to live debt free. I also believe that anyone who feels like they need a change in life will benefit from this book.

The Maxwell Leadership Bible
The Leadership expert, John Maxwell, provides an in-depth look at God’s laws for leaders and leadership, directly connected to the Bible. Now for the first time, the content of The Maxwell Leadership Bible is paired with the bestselling New International Version.
Features include:
- Complete NIV Bible text and translators' notes
- Book introductions
- Articles describing the 21 Laws of Leadership and the 21 Qualities of a Leader
- Notes throughout the Bible that connect with the Laws and Qualities
- Indexes to the 21 Laws of Leadership and the 21 Qualities of a Leader
This is a great Bible for those in a leadership position. In this Bible, Mr. Maxwell has drawn attention to the need of good leadership in our churches.
Each chapter has an in depth introduction, and highlights the leaders, and gives a summary of how well those leaders led. For example, in Genesis, we see Adam and Eve, we learn their qualities, and where they failed, and how they could have been better leaders.
Along with and attractive cover, the type is easy to read, and the Bible is set up nicely. I enjoyed the 21 qualities of each leader, and in the back there are sections that help you develop into a great leader.
I recommend this to anyone who leads or wants to lead in ministry.
