Lives are changed-from the simple to the dramatic-through the miracle of encouragement.

Encouragement is an essential nutrient of growing a positive attitude and improving life, and providing that encouragement benefits both the giver and the receiver(s).

Encouragement Changes Everything focuses on the importance of valuing and growing relationships. This is the perfect gift for people to share and enjoy in either personal or professional contexts.

Includes a beautifully embellished book jacket over a printed casing to appeal to fans of either format.

Although it is a short book, you'll be spurred to action before you can finish it

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018

Loved this book and its practical challenge to not only encourage other people but to also realize that encouragement of others is the best way to find encouragement yourself. One of the quotes early in the book from Maxwell lays out an outline that makes it easy to study and remember the information: "God’s love FOR us gives us the REASON to encourage others. God’s love IN us gives us the ABILITY to encourage others. God’s love THROUGH us gives us the WAY to encourage others.”

So, Maxwell's book gives you the reason(s) to encourage others, shows you the ability you may not even realize you have to encourage others, and reveals specific and simple ways that you can encourage others.

As is typical with Maxwell, the quotes are timely throughout the book and the biographical vignettes are on point. I have now added Antwone Fisher's memoir to my must-read list and one of the most interesting takeaways that I found in Maxwell's book is a fact about the personal effects that were found on Abraham Lincoln at his death. Lincoln had carried with him a worn-out newspaper clipping extolling his accomplishments as president that starts out with the words, “Abe Lincoln is one of the greatest statesmen of all time…” Today, Lincoln is widely considered the greatest President our country has ever known, but during the time of his administration, this was not the case. One of the myths about encouragement that we might easily believe is that someone like an Abraham Lincoln probably doesn't need encouragement. Yet in the words of Truett Cathy, in answer to the question of how to identify a person who needs encouragement, he replied, "That person is breathing."

This is a good read, worthy of a re-read, and although it is a short book, you'll be spurred to action before you can finish it.

Great and Inspiring Read

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is one of my first John Maxwell books, and I was impressed. The book is small and quick to read - filled with great aphorisms and vignettes on encouragement as a foundation for leadership. Beautifully laid out and illustrated, the book could easily pass muster as a coffee table book in miniature. My experience supports Maxwell's assertions on leadership and the power of the encouraging word. While I tend to get turned off by overly religious or preachy books on the subject, this one is not at all - which was a concern given Maxwell's reputation as an unabashedly Christian author. A great and inspiring read.

I am one who knows for sure that just as one can not give a baby too much love, one
can not give too much genuine encouragement to another.
This book is such an easy read with a profound message.
This book's message , if lived out will indeed enrich , as the author reminds us,not just the receiver of encouragement but also your life, too, will be enriched.
You won't be disappointed with this book.
I challenge you to acquire this book .

Great book! Full of ways to help others!

This book is smaller than John C Maxwells other books- but it packs a punch. It is filled with encouraging quotes, personal stories and ways in which our words can either inspire or tear down those around us. I'm a huge fan of John C Maxwell and this book is probably my favorite. It really helped me see how my words can make a difference and helped me with practical advice on how to use words to build up those around me.

Good book but the print is very, very tiny.

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

the material inside is good, especially p. 65 about "people who are value added or substracted." However, the print is so very tiny, I could not enjoy it and I have 20-20 vision. Too bad because I love John Maxwell. Terrible typeface. I don't like to have to struggle and squint when I want to enjoy what I'm reading.
