Perfectionism, Pursuing Excellence with Wisdom
When do high standards become enslaving rather than God-glorifying? Lou Priolo explores several definitions of perfectionism to give a full-orbed, biblically nuanced picture. Using thirty-one devotional readings—supplemented with exercises, checklists, and action points—set aside all-or-nothing thinking and learn how to reprogram your conscience using biblical principles. You will find peace and freedom in God’s Word.We are grateful that Lou had the opportunity to finish Perfectionism before passing into glory in late 2023. He was a wise and prolific author, and this final book is a thoughtful, fitting capstone to his writing ministry.
