LONGWOOD, FL-A tree grows by pushing buds up through the existing branches; likewise, we must learn to push ourselves through barriers. Growth is to a tree as The Pursuit of Excellence (paperback, 978-1-60266-138-7; hardcover, 978-1-60266-139-4) is to a Christian. Janet Perkins' timely book brings to the forefront the basic reason for our existence-making God first in our life. Everything else will fall into place if we allow this relationship to be the blueprint for our priorities and pursuits. The book helps us identify ways to pursue the excellence of Christ and encourages readers to pursue godliness beyond the limits.

Fulfillment has nothing to do with material success, says Perkins. One can be extremely successful materially yet lack a sense of worth and achievement. On the contrary, one can have nothing going for him in the material sense yet possess a true inner joy and sense of worth and achievement. Perkins motivates readers to live every day by the following principles: prayer, reading and studying the Bible, sharing our new life as a believer, participating in a local church, and being careful of the relationships and transactions we enter. "Readers will take away with them the power to strategize and live a life that begets excellence," says Perkins.Ê"My hope is that it will awaken eagerness in Christians and non-Christians and call us into alertness so that we make a decision to become the servantÊof Christ and His ministry."
