JMGT_V7_N3_A1 Hershey Friedman James A. Lynch Journal on Management 2230 – 715X 7 3 1 11 Ethics, Leadership, Bible, Psalms, Righteous Person There is a growing belief that education – kindergarten through twelfth grades (K-12) as well as higher education – has to focus on teaching students values, intellectual virtues, and character education. These values include integrity, conscientiousness, curiosity, determination, resilience, and self-confidence. The authors demonstrate how Psalms with its inspiring and rousing hymns can be used to teach important values to people. These values include perseverance, faith, concern for others, and the power of hope. Even leaders should read Psalms for inspiration and as a way to understand the importance of moral leadership. This paper examinesseveral of the most powerful statements in Psalms and demonstrates how they provide guidance and inspiration. December 2012 - February 2013 Copyright © 2013 i-manager publications.
