Joseph has had a remarkable career. I have enjoyed working with him and watching him implement the values and ideals of Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. He has written a book that I hope will be widely read. -- Andrew Young, former Congressman, United Nations Ambassador, and Mayor of Atlanta Ambassador James A. Joseph brings a new approach to the question of why ethics matters by offering a compelling case for ethical decision making drawn from his wide and distinguished service in the real worlds of church, business, charitable foundations, politics, diplomacy, and higher education. The moral reasoning in Saved for a Purpose is incredibly clear, and it is written from an ethical perspective that is at once deeply rooted in religious conviction and informed by careful attention to the moral dimensions of decisions about major social, economic, and political issues. -- Joseph C.
