John C. Maxwell: Bucket-list books

Pastor John C. Maxwell is himself a prolific writer.  Having led numerous churches, he has authored numerous books on leadership.

Wikipedia lists the following Maxwell titles:  Becoming the Person Others Will Want to Follow, The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership and The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader.
Altogether, Maxwell has written more than 60 such books.

Because his own books have “sold more than nineteen million copies,” and some have been “on the New York Times Best Seller List,” it is interesting to note which authors Maxwell
particularly cherishes.

He has made this easy to determine by publishing a “bucket list” of personal favorites. Authors within this select group include C. S. Lewis (Screw Tape Letters), Scott Peck (The Road Less Traveled), Henri Nouwen (Life Signs), Jack Welch (Jack: Straight From the Gut), Rick Warren (Purpose Driven Life) and James Allen (As a Man Thinketh).

And, oh yes – among the many other listings, there are seven by Maxwell himself…
