We are all at our best when it counts. But what are we like when no one's looking? That's where character comes in--being consistent even when it doesn't seem to matter. Courage. Discipline. Vision. Endurance. Love. These character qualities are quickly becoming endangered. All too often we hear of marriages falling apart, governments lying, businesses cheating and scandals rocking the church. But with God's guidence and strength, we can maintain character that lasts despite temptations and troubles. Features & Benefits

Who you are when no ones looking

I love this book,an easy read and With the wOrkbook i
s a good book for a study group. I Couldnt find it in bookstores or the library near me.

discipline for anyone

I find this book good for xtians and non xtians... since the author talks about discipline for anyone who might need to refresh life, renew the old attitudes, etc. it was helpful for me.

Wonderful book

This is a wonderful book. For those who are fighting bad habits like procrastination, disorganization, poor time management, etc., this book is one of the best you can read. It shows how to achieve discipline, courage, endurance, and the other things which lead to a successful and contented life. It gives a strong Christian viewpoint but it does not push a political viewpoint, which is very refreshing. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone seeking to manage any aspect of his/her life more effectively.

A Good Read

From the time we are young children we are taught to behave ourselves in public. We quickly learn what behaviour is and is not acceptable when the eyes of our families and friends are on us. But who we are in public is not an accurate guage of our character. Our true character is shown when we are alone and no one is looking. It is at these times that we display our true colours.

In Who You Are When No One's Looking, Bill Hybels outlines several character traits that he believes are becoming endangered in our culture and outlines ways we can incorporate these traits into our lives. The traits he focuses on are courage, discipline, vision, endurance and love. Love is so important that he dedicates half of the book to it, dividing it into several kinds of love, namely tender love, tough love, sacrificial love and radical love.

Though this book does not arrive at any ground-shaking conclusions, it is well worth reading and would make a fantastic 10-part Bible study. My only real complaint would be a few sentences that undermine Reformed theology ("God loves prisoners, homosexuals and bag ladies as much as he loves stock brokers, dental students and seminarians.)" (p. 62) Of course such beliefs are commonplace in the evangelical world and, frankly, not worth getting too upset about.

Tiny Woman's Reading Group

We are reading this book in my woman's group and its the third week and we're only on the second chapter. There is a lot to discuss with this book. Everyone has something to share. I would recommend it for groups or for individual readers.
