    About this ebook

    "You and I were designed to press forward, to reach out, to climb higher."

    Half-hearted Christianity is common because it’s easy. But in ThePursuit of Excellence Dr. George Sweeting explores the nine marks of Christians who pursue and attain excellence, including:

    • Prayer
    • Suffering
    • Staying-Power
    • Action


    He shares stories of excellence from faith heroes of the past and present. And he’ll teach you how to break down the barriers standing in your way and press on even when it’s difficult. Come and be blessed by the wisdom of an older brother in Christ and walk away inspired to pursue Christ passionately and with your whole self.

    "Full of practical and compelling principles that will help you do more than just survive, it will help you live with faith-fueled excellence."

    Mark Jobe, 10th President- Moody Bible Institute
