Summary: Vintage Swindoll!
Review: Living Above the Level of Mediocrity is yet another fantastic title by Charles Swindoll. The gist of this book is the need for us to live above the level of just doing enough to get by.

Among the many principles Swindoll covers are:

1. Encouragements for standing tall.
2. Problems with the world's system.
3. Be willing to minister to others out of the limelight.
4. Soaring takes effort and requires eliminating negativity.
5. Following Christ will cost us relationships, possessions, and personal goals/desires.
6. Characteristics of people who positively impact others.
7. Defining vision, determination, and dreaming.
8. Observations about conformity to other people's standards.

Read it and be encouraged to soar like an eagle!

Summary: Go For Excellence!
Review: Mediocrity equals boredom and frustration. Living above it is Christian, it is the abundant way of living Jesus taught. In this book based on the Scriptures, Chuck Swindoll shows you how to apply principles that result in living purposefully and joyfully.

Like similar writers, he starts by explaining it all occurs in one's mind. When one's thoughts are right, proper actions follow. Being conscious of the invisible, eternal Kingdom of God is the awareness that changes one's perception from things seen to those unseen.

He writes about resisting traditionalism, greed, and discouragement. His advice is practical and doable. This is a hands-on book designed to set you apart from those who are satisfied with the status quo. It is a challenge to rise above the fray to a higher level of existence, one based on God's Word.

Summary: Anything But Mediocre
Review: This book always lifts me up mentally and gets me "back on track." I am in the midst of reading this for the third time and I detest reading anything more than once. I particularly enjoy Swindoll's analysis and explanation of Bible readings.

Rating:
Summary: An inspiration and challenge to all Christians!
Review: This book changed my life and sent me, literally, on a completely different course. God used this book to open my eyes to the selfishness in my walk with Him through the story of Mary anointing Jesus with a bottle of costly perfume. Chuck Swindoll has an amazing ability to connect with his readers through his use of illustrations and gracious manner of telling the sometimes hard truths of the Bible.

Review: This is my third Swindoll book. And my favorite. In this excellent book, Swindoll shows that you can step above mediocrity, you can do better and most of all, it's God's desire for you to have all that you want.

Easy read and inspiring.
