David Gill provides us with insight and information about the formation and building of good moral character based on sound biblical principles. Becoming Good is easy to read and understand for a layman like me. This book is a valuable resource as I build a team and seek to do God's will. Mike Holmgren, former head coach, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks What I really like about David Gill's way of presenting Christian ethics is his own virtuous style --- a mean between two extremes. He is resolute (neither bombastic nor vague), collegial (neither too technical nor too popular), and soundly original (serving up neither warmed up leftovers nor cultic spin-off. Carol Adeney, translator, bibliotherapist, lay reader Becoming Good is a powerful plea for the formation of Christian character with the gospel as the ruling criterion. Donald Bloesch, theologian David Gill's Becoming Good is in every respect a reflection of his personal life as a Christian intellectual and educator. In dialogue with students as well as debate with fellow scholars he (like Becoming Good) is intense in communicating the urgency of Christ-centered living, unpretentious in presenting ideas in a crisp and popular style, and biblically motivated in consistently supporting arguments with the Scriptures. Rupe Simms, professor of Africana studies, North Park University
