Doing The Right Thing: Making Moral Choices in a World Full of Options

According to author Scott B. Rae in Doing the Right Thing, our culture is in an ethical mess because we've neglected moral training and education. This book proposes that there is such a thing as moral truth, that it can be known, and that it can be put into practice. Looking specifically at the areas of medicine, the marketplace, public life, education, and the family, Rae shows how foundational ethical principles can guide listeners into moral day-to-day decisions. Informed by Scripture and calling for a renewed understanding of the importance of the Christian faith in moral training, Doing the Right Thing issues a call for cultivated virtue that can bring about both better lives and a better society. Listeners will be spurred to examine themselves and the ways in which ethical and character issues relate to their lives. As a result, they will be better equipped to promote virtue in their own spheres of influence and the culture at large.
