We live in an instant world and yet we sometimes wonder why the quality of life isn't always what we expected. Perhaps that's because, at the end of the day, shortcuts and paths that offer little to no resistance don't usually produce excellence, but instead a watered-down version. What is excellence? It is more than just wins and losses, consisting of a long, never-ending process, and it brings glory to God, explain the top contributors to this book. The Excellence devotional provides inspiration to go beyond just getting by and instead to honor our commitments, pursue innovation and creativity, value quality over quantity and be wise stewards of the spiritual, material and relational resources entrusted to us. Learn how discipline and hard work lead to excellence, how to beat the odds in pursuit of excellence and how to raise the standard.

In the competitive world of sports, there is an ever-present temptation not to be a man or woman of integrity. After all, who will know? Were you in bounds, did you foul, was it a false start, does it really matter if your athlete uses steroids? The value God places on honesty and authenticity is essential for true winners. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes identifies integrity as a value that is essential in all walks of life, whether on the field, in the classroom or in the business world.

The Olympics, Super Bowl, World Series, X-Games, Iron Man events, the Final Four in college basketball, and the playoff series in professional basketball capture the imaginations of millions of people in America each time they are held. The questions are, according to general editor John Garner, where is the church and how is the church using these tools to reach people, and will the church see the opportunity to use recreation and sports as ministry tools?
