Bad Decisions - The Legacy of Lot - Leader's Guide
About This Guide
Decisions may have deferred outcomes, but decisions never happen in a vacuum. This Teacher's Guide is designed to help facilitators lead students, small groups, or congregations through a structured study of Bad Decisions — The Legacy of Lot, equipping participants to examine their own decision-making through the lens of Scripture.
About the Book
While most teachers draw on the positive traits of biblical characters, Pastor and Author Carlton L. Coon Sr. masterfully draws on the life of Lot to illustrate the dangers of making bad decisions. Rather than overlooking Lot's failures, this book uses them as a mirror — helping readers honestly evaluate their own choices and their lasting consequences.
Bad Decisions is a powerful, thought-provoking resource that belongs in every decision-maker's toolbox. Its reach extends beyond the church: the book is used in drug clinics and by mental health professionals across North America, a testament to its practical, life-changing message.

• Pastors and counselors helping others work through decision-making
