His faith-based writing inspires teens to see beyond themselves. So when John Maxwell recommends a book, I listen.
He recommends parents give their kids these books:
- The Difference Maker: Teaches the importance of our attitude
- Talent is Never Enough: It’s not talent, it’s the choices you make that determine success
- Failing Forward: Teaches you how to fail successfully
- Make Today Matter: How our daily decisions impact our lives
