by Marco Van Erpen, Anne Trudel

Overview

Written in an easy-to-read, meditative style, Doughty provides lay and clergy leaders example of the elements for living a life of integrity.

Through poignant stories, To Walk in Integrity offers us a model for spiritual leadership in an age of great need. Using illustrations from personal and biblical encounters, Doughty describes the spiritual qualities of those who walk in integrity. The book examines the patterns of daily living and choices through which these individuals provide leadership and encourages us to examine the way integrity relates to our lives.

The opening chapter focuses on the deep need for a model of spiritual leadership amid the personal and public crisis they encounter.

He encourages us to meditate on his words and reflect to explore their implications. Each chapter concludes with two sets of questions - one for personal meditation and one for group reflection.
