So I have written this book not just as a warning, but as a challenge to God''s people". (Preface) .

"You''ll be challenged to translate faith into practice as you develop a biblical approach to social involvement"--Back cover

Allen is tempted by his neighbor''s apples but decides to obey God''s commandment not to steal.

Mark purposely breaks a school window and suffers from that knowledge until he seeks forgiveness from God as well as the school principal.

A little girl, nervous about having her principal come to her party, makes a messy mistake but is forgiven by him, illustrating Jesus Christ''s willingness to forgive our sins.

When the mean girl next door falls and hurts herself, Lisa helps her when she remembers what the Bible taught her about loving your enemies.

The author writes: in the light of God''s Word, I''ve seen with growing clarity the stark emptiness of the world without Christ. So I have felt an increasing burden to challenge its false and bankrupt values, to help keep others from the futile search that so consumed my early years.
