Effective leadership starts with healthy, clear thinking. Successful leaders know how to focus on the essentials. Maxwell shares meditations sure to challenge us as leaders to reach our full potential as servants of God. In this 30th anniversary edition of his very first book, we learn that "our ability to achieve anything great for God begins in our hearts and minds." Ready for a change of heart? Ready to be transformed by the renewing of your mind? Increase your effectiveness as both leader and servant as you "think on these things." The idea for writing this book was born in a church growth conference I was conducting. A pastor during a question-and-answer time asked me where I had picked up my knowledge concerning church growth at such a young age. (The extent of knowledge may be questioned, although I agree that my age at the time, 32, was indeed young!) In all fairness to his question, I replied, " I've known many of these principles of success all my life.'

At the moment, I realized how privileged I was to have such a wonderful heritage. The encouragement of church leaders to write down some of these important principles has been the motivating force behind this book. hopefully, these chapters will be the springboard to more successful living.
