Publisher's Description
What ever happened to good Christian character and conduct? Character and conduct are inextricably connected. Today's headlines highlight society's problems, but then the pundits simplistically push the blame off on big business, big government, or some other faceless entity. Yet—with the exception of natural disasters—most problems are caused by people... people who put money, power, or personal gain ahead of the bedrock values of character and integrity. We are all now collectively paying the price for years of selfish excess brought on by these behaviors. This book is about integrity, character, and values. The key qualities needed to live a life of integrity will be explained and illustrated through the stories of men and women in the Bible. Conduct reveals character, and we best understand integrity when we see it lived out in a person's life.

“George Washington once said, "Few men have integrity to withstand the highest bidder," a colossal barrier that chokes our effectiveness in human relationships. Charlie Dyer has cut through this obstacle with a path to personal integrity from the Holy Scriptures. Here is a book that should be required reading for every student, from prep students to senior seminarians. None of us ever outgrows his or her need for a review of this essential lifetime subject.”
“This book is a stone. To be more precise, it's a whetstone. As you interact with the concepts in this book, you will be sharpening the blade of your personal integrity on the whetstone of biblical truth. My integrity edge was sharper when I finished this book; I think yours will be, too.”
“God desires to reproduce the life of Christ in every believer. By examining the lives of biblical characters who exemplified aspects of godliness and by studying the pertinent passages of Scripture, the author, in a clear, concise, convincing, and often in a convicting way, sets forth the qualities which characterize a godly life. A must for those who desire to fulfill God's will for their lives, "even our sanctification" (1 Thessalonians 4:3).”
“Charlie Dyer has artfully mixed reflection and action, Scripture and relevance, theory and reality to produce a combat manual for those who battle with maintaining personal integrity. As he processes contemporary options to moral compromise through the eternal grid of the Bible, we learn that the issues are not that new after all. God's prescriptions stand for us now as they did when they were written.”
