Illustrated Parable

The Abiding Tree

Gold Medallion winner, 2026 Christian Book Awards

For the giver who has lost the ability to feel their own impact.

Not every important idea arrives as an argument. Some arrive as a story.

The Abiding Tree is a picture-book parable for the weary — for the person who has given so much to others that they can no longer feel what they have made possible. Illustrated throughout, with Scripture on every page.

It is a small book that carries a large truth.

The Paradox of Excellence by David Mosby and Michael Weissman — book cover
Business & Leadership

The Paradox of Excellence

The better you perform, the more invisible you become — to everything but bad news.

It sounds wrong until you have lived it. Every high performer, reliable executive, and person taken for granted at the moment they most deserved recognition knows exactly what it means.

The Paradox of Excellence names a dynamic most organizations never acknowledge: excellence, consistently delivered, eventually disappears from view. Success resets the baseline. Prevention stays invisible. One failure can erase a hundred unseen wins.

Published by John Wiley / Jossey-Bass, August 2005. Twenty years in print. Seven languages.
Hardcover · 224 pages · ISBN 978-0-7879-8139-6
