The AMA Handbook of Business Letters Book

Allen offers a beautiful discourse on doctrines of character and integrity. Any violation of universal law must bring about just consequence, and also, reward for living its tenets without deviation. When one deviates from the pillars of prosperity, the inevitable price will ultimately be paid-- even, if it seems delayed for a season. Some consequences just take longer to boomerang back to the individual who transgressed the law.
Allen describes Honesty and integrity as spiritual attributes which are inseparably connected to the physical plane. They create ripples in a man's world to change, create or destroy his circumstances.
I particularly connected with his discussion of 'failure' and how it destroys the dishonest man, but only proves to strengthen an honest man (who can rebuild with his character intact), but the dishonest man's reputation precedes him, thus ruining his chances to rise again with honor. Luckily however, through sincere repentance and change of heart and deed, even the wicked man can make restitution, though not without much difficulty.
Righteousness can be used to improve the world, thereby creating opportunities for growth and influence. But the sloth and unwise man who cheats others, abuses the energies about him, resulting in disorder and chaos. Dishonesty and lack of moral fiber causes a loss in energy. But integrity creates energy by sending ripples of vibration into the lives of others, causing a chain reaction; the creation of better circumstances. An unwise man wastes his energy, but a wise man uses the energies to share with others.
A review on such a profound book could easily become a book itself, so I'll stop here. Excellent read! Highly recommended!
