Rating: Summary: Lives Up to the Title Review: Books like this one never grow out of date. In the opening section we're told of the timeless value of principles when Dr. Maxwell writes, "...there are principles of success and there are principles of failure." Obviously if you want to learn the principles of success you learn from someone who has mastered them such as John Maxwell.He moves from this introduction to the matter of abiding in Jesus. He talks about the Scripture of glorifying the Father by producing fruit. Fruit is produced as we abide in Jesus. We're admonished, "Feed your mind on things that will help you think right and then reproduce." The section on dreams is quite thrilling. Dr. Maxwell helps us grasp how real, how vital, how life-giving dreams are. Goals coupled with passion lead to success. In writing about prayer he tells us, "We need to look at prayer as taking hold of God's eagerness, not overcoming God's reluctance." This book will fuel the passion of anyone wanted to live a life of significance in the light of God's standard. It is food for thought for the person consumed with being excellent.
