How to Be Good in a World Gone Bad: Living a Life of Christian Virtue
"This is more than a book of suggestions--this is a manual for how to be ""blameless and pure children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation.""" (Shirley UpdykeWhat's New on the Bookshelf2005-05-01)"Few Christian books so powerfully combine biblically spiritual insight with common-sense realism done in a manner that advocates the fruit of the Spirit. Spiegel assesses applying Christian virtues in our contemporary world. His insight into human psychology is sharp, and his ability to write to the reader's experience without pulling punches or being judgmental is a rare jewel. . . . Recommended to anyone interested in growing in grace."

(Gerry WiszCBA Marketplace2004-10-01)"This book should not only be considered essential reading for Christians of all ranks (including pastors), but for anyone who wants to know the key ingredients for successful leadership. It's all in this work. And the price of the book is affordable. It is scholarly in its reading but not difficult, with classic sayings of leading philosophers and theologians sprinkled throughout. The author, James S. Spiegel. . . . writes clearly to spur us on to excellence." (Rev. Austin MilesAgape Press2004-12-23)"Dr. Spiegel's book provides the road map to rein in the flesh, go beyond ourselves, and be the example to the world that God would have us be. Christian should consider themselves as being under construction with their eye on that goal. This book should not only be considered essential reading for Christian of all ranks (including pastors) but for anyone who wants to know the key ingredients for successful leadership. It's all in this work." (Rev. Austin Mileswww.MichNews.com2004-12-01)And this book gives the finest example of ruling oneself that can be found today. Every serious Christian should have this book. Come to think about it, so should everyone else. (Rev. Austen MilesAgapePress2004-12-23)
