Customer Reviews for HarperPerennial Integrity
HarperPerennial Integrity
(PUBHarperCollins)Now in softcover! What we need, says Carter, is an integrity that encompasses all aspects of life---public, private, and spiritual. This can be done by discerning right from wrong, acting on what we've decided, and telling others that we're acting accordingly. "Good in many ways,"---First Things. 288 pages, softcover.

Dr Austin McCaskill
Some books are not worth reading once. Others are worth reading twice. Stephen Carters book Integrity is worth reading many timesnot because it difficult or inaccessible, but because it is insightful and thought provoking. Carter insists that integrity requires three steps: (1) discerning what is right and what is wrong; (2) acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and (3) saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right from wrong. Carter then develops each of these areas and demonstrates why they are not only theoretically rightthey are also advisable and even necessary to have a just society. Carter explains why living a life of integrity, and demanding it of others (especially politicians and other leaders) will result in a better life and culture for all. He applies the three steps to many areas of life, from politics to marriage, from the way bosses write letters of recommendation to the way newspaper editors choose which stories to run. Carter writes from an unapologetically Christian framework, but this is not simply a book for Christians. His intended audience is much broader, and his examples demonstrate that fact. He explains, I am, by training and persuasion, a lawyer, and so the reader should not be surprised to find many legal examples in the pages that follow. But if this is not a book about Christianity, still less is it a book about law, and certainly it is not a work of philosophy. It is, rather, a book about Americans and our society, about what we are, what we say we aspire to be, and how to bring the two closer to balance.
