    GREAT CONCEPT

    I loved this book. I actually bought it for my husband after seeing this guy on a talk show. I ended up reading it, and it made a big difference in my life. It inspired me to write my own book, which I'm working on with my sister. This book should be given to High School students to prepare them for life.

    From a Struggling Forward Failer to Another

    'A failure is a failure, because he fails to fail.' These are my words, but Maxwell makes you feel good about failing...forward. This book encourages you to keep taking risks, for inevitably, you will one day succeed. All successful people have failed at least a hundred times before they achieved their dreams. Read this book and let it send you soaring to new heights of failing...forward!!!

    Try it you'll like it.

    We have become in someways accustomed to a Internet-speed success culture. Making it means a lot of things to a lot of people. In Maxwell's Failing Forward, 'it's all net...swoosh.' Maxwell seems to hit the ground running with this one. He continues to improve his craft and the timeliness of this is great. Who wants to be a millionaire mentality has cut across the country, and Maxwell provides a lucid editorial focus that keeps his reader moving straight ahead toward achieving and appreciating the meaningful. Good job Max!

    Refreshing!!

    This book is pure John Maxwell! Dealing with failure is an inescapable portion of the human existence. The question if not whether or not we will fail...the question is how will we recover - and propsper - from failure. Maxwell examines failure from this perspective. Imagine being given permission to fail! Now imagine being able to put that failure into a healthy perspective and move forward from there! I thought enough of this book to buy two additional copies for my two children in college! I will encourage them to read - and assimilate - the timeless principles in this book.
