Me l'ha prestat una alumna. Reflexions sobre prendre decisions en la societat actual. Un poc (molt) desfasat, però amb algunes idees interessants per a la seua edat.

If u want multiple moral lessons or have questions about ethnicity, this book is highly recommended for you especially teenagers. To see and comprehend the compatibility between God and morality, it helps u to answer all the personal questions which u might struggle with. As I said, highly recommended ❤️❤️

This was a really good apologetics book that gave me clarity about a lot of my beliefs and gave lots of good information to use in defense of my faith. Full review will be up on my blog.

I went to attend Summit Ministries in Manitou Springs, CO the last two weeks of August, and I heard Dr. Sean McDowell speak for almost a solid day. He is in my top three favorite speakers that I heard there. His book "Ethix" is a very good overview of what he spoke on, plus some other material that he didn't speak on. The topics range from same-sex marriage versus traditional marriage, to how you should decide what to do with your life. It was definitely worth reading it. I highly recommend that any and every one should read this book.

I bought this book a couple years ago and even used some of the content for a youth lesson. I really enjoyed the book and all the Biblical references and the great research done too! I hope to use more of this book for future youth lessons! I have read Sean McDowell's dad Josh's writing and they truly are men of God.

This one was a good read even for a person who has studied apologetics and ethics etc. It is for teenagers/young people which is why it's supposed to be the basics (and it is); I think it covers all the basic stuff and explains them well (good illustrations). Plus good graphics. I'll definitely use this book when I prepare sermons and teachings for youth nights.

3.5 stars [Ethics]
Writing: 2.75. Use: 3.5. Truth: 4.
A fairly good book on ethics. Geared toward high school. Much bolder truth than normal. I used it to teach a high school ethics class, and it was fairly well received.
The binding is bad though. Pages fell out from several parts of the book!

The few that I given to youth have high reviews. Simple. Easy to read and yet very direct.
