Choices

"Should I give up my career to care for my mother?" "Should I forgive my husband for a one night stand?" "Should we build a new conservatory when people elsewhere are starving?" How do we go about making decisions, especially in a so-called "grey area" where no choice seems ideal? How can the Bible really help us in choosing between right and wrong? This book explores the influences that shape our thinking and the difficulty in making moral decisions in the real world, especially for Christians who have to learn to negotiate the tensions between their own feelings and weaknesses, the pressures of today's culture and God's law of love. Among the issues covered are: rules - where they come from; practical examples of tough decisions; the difference that personality makes to how we decide; is love the only way for Christians?; where the 10 commandments fit in; what "being like God" means; is there a "Christian" way to live?
