The NIV Leadership Bible offers 52 weekly studies in leadership using examples from the Bible on different subjects ranging from long-term planning to adapting to change. It offers quick devotionals for the work week, that take very little time to complete, but offers quick takeaways to think about through the week. It also includes profiles of leaders in the Bible, and in depth windows into other topics to explore.
When opening up the Bible for the first time, what jumps out is that there is a lot of material jam packed into it. If you want to read a chapter straight through, it seems like all the extra material might get in the way. With that said, the extra material is pretty good. It offers insight from other passages of scripture and from experts highlighting certain areas. It may be better used as a devotional Bible, rather than one for straight through reading, but that opinion may change with more time going through it. It should provide valuable for a year of great leadership devotions.
