Praise for The Man in the Mirror:
"Every once in a while someone comes along and says what I've been trying to put into words for years. This is one of those books. It's Augustine for the twentieth century. Real. Honest. Hard-hitting. Taking on the dragons. Read this book at your own risk. It's a serendipity--one surprise after another."
--Lyman Coleman, bestselling author
"To 'walk your talk' as a successful businessman is a challenge very few meet. Pat Morley walks his talk. He is a successful businessman, and he brings his wisdom and experience to all of us in a very readable and understandable form in The Man in the Mirror. I encourage you to not only read this book but also practice its principles."

Top Highlights
“After all is considered, the number one shortcoming of man is that we tend to lead unexamined lives. Most men have not carefully chiseled their worldview by a personal search for truth and obedience to God.” (source)
“is a choice between two time lines — one that’s eighty years long and one that lasts forever” (source)
“Here’s the question: If religion is such a big part of our lives, why isn’t it making more of an impact on our society? The sad reality is that claims of religious commitment run high, but impact is at an all-time low. At the very point when Christians have felt comfortable to come ‘out of the closet,’ our culture has sunk into a moral sewer.” (source)
“The double whammy of media-generated standard of living anxiety and debt pressure is enormously depressing. Not only do we have the tension of not reaching the lifestyle we set as our goal, but we also have the pressure of the debt we accumulated trying to get there. The debt makes us bitter and angry because we realize we played the part of a fool and deceived ourselves. Not only that, but our relationships end up fractured. The rat race boils down to the conflict between who we are created to be and who we are tempted to be. Could we define the rat race any more succinctly?” (source)
“We have moved away from traditional Judeo-Christian values toward a worldview that lets us self-select values based on whether they serve our self-interests. Like a child loose in a candy store, we pick our values, we determine our own fate, we captain our own ship.” (source)
