John C. Maxwell
John C. Maxwell (* 1947) ist ein US-amerikanischer Bestsellerautor, Vortragsredner und ehemaliger Pastor, der durch weltweite Schulungsprogramme für Führungskräfte bekannt wurde. Er steht für praxisnahe Konzepte werteorientierter Leiterschaft und persönlicher Charakterbildung, die er in zahlreichen millionenfach verkauften Büchern entfaltet hat. Während Bibelleser seine prägnanten Impulse zu Verantwortung und Einfluss schätzen, bemängeln theologische Kritiker eine teils pragmatische Auslegung biblischer Texte zugunsten moderner Managementprinzipien.

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
It may be that the Last Day will dawn tomorrow; if so, we will gladly lay down our work for a better future, but not before.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
Tim Keller
Our Lord's example is our example, not only on Calvary but in the workshop, on the road, in the crowd, amid interruptions, amid opposition, amid the lack of quiet and privacy, amid constant demands.
