There are many good things to say about this book. There are also many great points of information. I however, found two things which caused some difficulty for me: 1) Quotes and excerpts from others. 2) Repetitive coverage of certain topics. Overall, this book was rather informative.

Used this book for a Ministerial Ethics teaching tool. Tremendous effect on the students. A copulation of ethical findings from various views, steps for ministry, codes of ethics samples and ethical agreement.
Excellent! Should be required reading for ministers of all levels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book excellently describes ethics in decision making and reveals ethical principles in the Bible that every minister of any degree should be required to read. I read this due to a class required by the North Carolina District of the Assemblies of God and have heard from several senior pastors that the guidance found in this book would save many a pastor from making ignorant mistakes in leadership. Why is this needed for Christian leaders who should be moral already? Because this book reveals that people with good morals can be ignorant of unethical behavior which effects their leadership and those who follow them.
Needs to be Taught to All Pastors
