Hey there! Our name, Excelsion, is all about reaching for the highest standards. We took the Latin word “Excelsis” and made it modern-friendly. It's about aiming high in everything we do, paying respect to "The Highest," our Creator. At Excelsion Press, we want to promote a new generation of kids characterized by faith, generosity, excellence, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

Winsome Faith
We're all about staying positive even when life gets tough. Think of it as a cheerful approach to spirituality. We want to be like St. Philip Neri, who said joy keeps us strong and helps us persevere.
Radical Generosity
We think wealthy folks can do a lot of good. Our goal is to encourage them to use their resources to help others, especially those in need. We're not about guilt; we're about showing that being generous makes life better.
Enjoyable Excellence
We like excellence, but we're not into extremes. It's not just about working hard to earn more money and get better abs; it's about cultivating great friendships, being welcoming, and enjoying life's good stuff like food, drinks, and fun.
Enthusiastic Entrepreneurship
Everyone has the potential to do something great, but we have a soft spot for entrepreneurs. In simple terms, an entrepreneur is like a creative problem-solver who helps people by offering good solutions and products. The best entrepreneurs not only create jobs but also provide meaningful work, helping people achieve their goals and support their families and communities.
Integrity, Not Identity
Our stories are about good character and practices for living a life of faith, love, happiness, and success. We understand that certain people groups experience unkindness and oppression, based on their race, gender, or sexual orientation. Many fine media platforms, activist groups, and ministries address these realities in a noble way. That is not our mission. We focus on the qualities that constitute integrity for all people, not the identities that divide us into classes and categories.
Love-Driven Leadership
In our team and with everyone we work with, we lead with love. High performance, doing things right, and building good relationships—all guided by love.
Teach the Transcendentals
We're big on promoting “The Transcendentals” that great thinkers from ancient times have identified as the core hungers of the human heart: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Whether we draw inspiration for a book from a Bible story or an epic Greek poem like The Odyssey, we believe that “All Truth is God’s Truth,” that “even a broken clock is right twice a day,” and that all people of good will recognize and celebrate moral values that are universally held by cultures and people groups across the world.
Live Locally
In a world often fractured by online arguments and social media divisiveness, we say: let's connect in person! We focus on local communities, promoting real-world relationships where you live.
We partner with successful entrepreneurs to create books and media for kids that promote faith, excellence, and the entrepreneurial spirit.
