Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality

Rounding out its thesis with examples from history and etymology, Paul V. Zylstra’s Our Spiritual Compass: The Conscience and Morality describes the immaterial parts of man in general and the conscience in detail as found in the Bible. These concepts are used to describe conflicts with modern philosophy, psychology, the legal system, and modern decision-making techniques and how they are used to condition the conscience to reject morality. Zylstra looks at the effects of government structures and the legal system on the conscience—following this thoughtful guide, lawmakers and jurists alike could make more Christian decisions and rulings. Our Spiritual Compass concludes with a discussion of conscientious objection and the need to protect the conscience of the individual. The book offers a peaceful alternative to counter some devastating effects of political correctness.

Our Spiritual Compass is the second in a series of four books for Christian counselors working
with people dealing with divorce, addiction, PTSD, and depression.
