Publisher's Description

Now with a study guide for personal use or group discussion. In this book on excellence Chuck Swindoll―"America's foremost applicator of Scripture to daily life"―boldly tackles the difficult problems of self-discipline, laziness, and our tendency to accept less of life than we deserve. "Perhaps his best book... both a challenge to easy living and a blueprint for breaking out of patterns of mediocrity.... One of the most helpful aspects of this book is Swindoll's ability to distinguish between striving for excellence and the modern-day philosophies of success." ― Today's Christian Woman " Living Above the Level of Mediocrity epitomizes what has lifted the author above the average. The book itself aims high and reaches its goal through keen thinking and hard work." ― Moody Monthly "Swindoll combines interesting, insightful Bible exposition with the storyteller's ability to make an anecdote live. Throughout the book he weaves briefs about the eagle, a bird he holds up as an example of the pursuit of excellence. He writes devotionally, giving you constant food for thought." ― Eternity
