Philip Rice, a Christian counselor, offers biblical guidelines on how adults can better understand the process of moral devel- opment and exert a more vital influence over how character and beliefs are formed. He surveys present moral attitudes and practices, examines the various methods of moral teach- ing, and shows what roles the family, peer groups, the schools, and the church play in the development process. Using real-life examples from counseling experiences, Rice presents a clear viewpoint to tackle five crucial areas of ethical decision-making causing concern today.

Ideal for parents, pastors, church school teachers, and edu- cators, MORALITY AND YOUTH is an honest approach to the difficult problem of moral development.
