Publisher's Synopsis
There was a time when a man's word was gold. The press of a hand and a promise given was all that was required to conduct business. Honor, integrity, courage, commitment, and family were more than just words on a page; it was how you lived and how you taught your children to live. A long time ago "a full day's work for a full day's pay" was the expectation not the exception. Somewhere over the course of time the values that were held as the standard of behavior have been forgotten. A generation who believed they had all the answers turned their backs on the values of their parents and set out to redefine how to act and how to live. The children of this generation now are reaping the harvest of the wild oats sewn through the sixties, seventies and eighties. What do we do now and how do we turn this around? Values Under Construction takes us back in time to revisit the values learned from the "Greatest Generation." Steven Hood takes us through the visual images of a construction site as he explains the process of building values into your life. From the word of God and from examples in the lives of those he has known, each step of the construction process builds on the last, moving us forward to the completed structure that God would have us to be. Written from the heart of a father to his adult sons, Values Under Construction gives a clear and concise definition of each value as found through the Word of God and then challenges each of us to live out that value in all parts of our lives. It is a book that every dad will want to give to his son as he sends him out into the world.
