document.write(" When my oldest daughter was about 15 years old I was faced with a dilemma. I had brought her up to believe that Honesty and Integrity were among, if not the, most important characteristics one could take into her future life, at any point in her life. When she was about 15 years old her mother and I caught her in her first lie (that we caught her in). It wasn’t even a lie to us or to her own benefit. She was doing as a favor for a friend, providing an excuse for not having some homework done. In my professional life I had always preached that there is always an alternative to “Punishment” as a means to correct negative behavior. I was seeking an alternative deal with this breach, knowing we had to do something since we had made dishonesty so important. All of a sudden it came to me. Dr. Adler’s wonderful book, Six Great Ideas. Instead of punishment, we suggested that she read the chapter in Dr. Adler’s book, TRUTH. Then write a minimum 2 pages long essay on what she learned from it and then sit down and have a discussion with her mom and me on this concept as Dr. Adler discussed it and its application to our lives. I think now, 15 years later, that my daughter has never told another lie. She is known in all the circles she travels in, as a person of extreme integrity. (about 12 years later we had a similar experience with her 10 years younger sister and it worked equally as well. THANK YOU Dr. Mortimer Adler. \n");

Dr. Adler is powerful inspiration and mentor to me. His communication, contents of his writings and passion has been still affecting me powerfully. I feel the need to tell you that His 'Great Books of Western World' and/or Classical Education should be used on Mission field on Islamic Countries like Turkey. I plan to have some of his articles translated into Turkish and encouraging many missionaries in Turkey to read his articles and consider using Classical Education as a mission tool to strengthen the Christians in Turkey since Liberal Arts is the greatest need on Muslim countries.
