Right From Wrong

Summary: McDowell & Hostetler have made a winner!
Review: Even though this book is a few years old now (I read it about 5 yrs ago), what McDowell and Hostetler have said in this book still stands true. Looking back over the last 60 years or so, if you really want to know what went wrong with society, this is the book to read.

Summary: A fundamentalist christian masquerade
Review: I've just finished the book recommended by a friend. I found it to be nothing more than a platform for the author's very christian conservative views.
I absolutely do not agree with the author's statement, "our children are being raised in a society that has largely rejected the concepts of truth and morality". No way. Our children are being raised by parents and peers as they have been for thousands of years. We are responsible for their upbringing, not society. And we need to teach them religious tolerance. Not the type of venomous hatred this author seeps into his narratives.

Summary: I couldn't put it down!
Review: In this book, Josh explores some of the major problems that our youth are facing today. Such as, premarital sex, lying, stealing, cheeting, etc... Josh tells us through a series of fictional families and situations that are all too real, why it is actually wrong to lie and cheet and steal. This is an excellent book for parents or even youth leaders as my self who want some ammunition to combat these problems that are plaguing our society!

Summary: A look at why given behavior is right or wrong in God's eyes
Review: In this book, McDowell, examines why given behaviors are right or wrong from God's perspective. He leads readers to search for a precept from the Bible, then draw a principle from tht precept, which leads one to the person, God. Using this precept, principle, person approach, one can see how right behavior reflects God's person, or character

Summary: Wonder if this book is necessary?
Review: Wonder if this book is necessary? Ask a group of young people, (or for that matter a group of adults), this question: "Is truth something you determine for yourself or something that exists outside yourself?" I am shocked how many people believe that truth is situational. I fear that the prevelance of this type of moral relativism--this myth that each of us can be our own god--is the among the most critical challenges our shrinking world faces.
