On a boat in the Sea of Galilee, Israel, with my bride, Margaret.
Hello from the USA! Thank you very much for all your good wishes and prayers for us as we toured Israel. I truly enjoyed helping my friend and pastor, Tom Mullins, lead the group from Christ Fellowship Church. We had a fantastic time.
At any rate, I’m back on American soil for the time being. And we have a lot going on this month.
Remember the book? The one that YOU helped me create right here on the blog? Well, it’s finally on its way!
Two weeks from today (March 30) is the official publication date for Everyone Communicates, Few Connect in the US and Canada! If you’d like to read an excerpt of the “finished product” RIGHT NOW, go to Scribd.com, where you’ll find the prologue, chapter 1, and a very nice high-resolution picture of the cover. (Perhaps with YOUR face on it?)
If you read the book here on the blog last fall and found it helpful, please consider going over to Amazon and writing a review. And if you participated in the editing process, make sure to also share your opinion on how that went.
Are you following me on Twitter and Facebook? If not, now’s a great time to start. For the next 30 days, I’ll be sharing updates with quotes and thoughts on the power of connecting.
ALSO…
On Twitter beginning March 30, I’m giving away signed copies of the book (provided by the publisher, Thomas Nelson). Don’t miss out; giveaways will be Tweeted every day until they’re gone.
And finally, over the next two weeks, I’m speaking in Florida (also streamed live online) and North Carolina. Check Upcoming Events in the sidebar for all the details.
Have a great week!

Dr Maxwell this looks like a good book. I have just finished reading your updated 21 irrefutable laws of leadersip, am still studying that book. Am looking for books on leadership in ministry and in personal life. I appreciate your ministry. God bless David from Nova Scotia

I can’t wait! How can a South African get a copy soonest? I have been to almost every bookstore in Pretoria (South Africa) since the middle of February and no one knows about the new book. I keep going back and request that they check what they have on order… and nothing! Oh dear, a handbrake on my excitement. I have designed a course teaching parents how to connect with their teens, from a coaching perspective, so this topic is in every heartbeat of mine. I have only read the excerpt today, my first peek and now I have ants in my pants! So excited! Mankind has many needs, with connection being a critical one. With connection you will have love, respect etc. Great job, well done John and co.

I am looking forward to your book as well. As a mom and one of the State Coordinators for Moms In Touch International, it is my responsibility to connect with people on a regular basis. I even joined Toastmasters to learn to speak better in public. I find that being able to communicate with people is huge. Thanks for writing this book. I have loved everything I’ve read by you.
