Fourteen ready made codes for the areas of life that keep going wrong
“Why is it that so many people who have been Christians for ten, twenty and even fifty years appear to be so ineffective in the performance of their everyday lives?”
... the missing link?
Peter J. Daniels spent a lifetime asking that question, and this book is his working answer: fourteen field tested codes of conduct, for husbands, fathers, families, friendship, finance, business and leadership, each grounded in Scripture and each proven in his own life before he dared recommend it to yours.

The problem this book refuses to ignore
Daniels puts it bluntly in the introduction: never have Christians had more sermons, studies, books, broadcasts and Bible colleges, and yet his office is flooded with letters from believers whose marriages are struggling, whose children have gone off the rails, whose finances are in chaos and whose businesses are drowning in debt.
His diagnosis is that the teaching has come from theorists who never showed anyone how to live the faith out in the working world, in a marriage, a family, a friendship, a business, a church pew. The Word of God provides the compass; what has been missing is the code that turns it into daily conduct you can measure yourself against.
So he stopped waiting for the theologians and wrote the codes himself, out of fifty years of tested Christian living and a business record spanning the globe. Not theory. As Pastor Bill Nott writes in the foreword, it has been tried and proven, and it comes with the weight of authority.
Where the book begins
On his country estate, Daniels built a great stone wall and set into it, carved for all to see and made to outlast him, two stone tablets bearing God's own code: the Ten Commandments. That wall is the book's foundation stone and its argument in miniature.
Surely this is the greatest code ever given to humankind, he writes, yet it is broken every day, while the world's corrupt codes, from The Little Red School Book to the Communist Manifesto, written by men who never built anything, win followers. His answer: Christians must write their own codes of conduct from the Word of God, and hold to them.
One of the fourteen, shown in full
Created for The Gabriel Call, his initiative to raise up believers in business through one hundred megachurches, and issued as a gold security badge. Here it is complete, so you can see exactly what a Daniels code looks like:
Twelve commitments, each backed in the book by the Scriptures it stands on
The other thirteen codes go deeper still, into the roles you actually live every day, and each arrives with its biblical references and the stories behind it.
Fourteen chapters, fourteen codes
The flagship twelve, and the Onassis story of how money seduces before it destroys.
Twelve commitments beginning with: my wife is a gift from God, and I will never dishonor the gift.
From clarifying boundaries to showing your family your courage.
The long game: building into a generation you may never fully see.
Heritage by design rather than by accident.
What loyalty, candour and constancy owe the people who walk with you.
Turning up as a contributor rather than a consumer.
Earn all you can, give regularly, minimize debt, spend money on your brains, build a heritage.
Enterprise under God: risk, integrity and reward held together.
What you owe the people whose livelihoods you carry.
Working as unto the Lord, in a workplace that is watching.
Authority exercised the way the Kingdom measures it.
The neglected discipline: how to follow well.
The closing challenge: build your own code, carry it in your wallet, and live measurably by it.
“Madam, you do not force with money, you seduce.”Aristotle Onassis, in the story Daniels uses to show exactly why every believer needs a code
From the foreword
“Dr. Daniels' book is of immense value; it has been tried and proven. It is not untested or untried theory. Therefore, it comes with the weight of authority, and brings a blessing ready to be imparted to the reader. I have confidence in its validity as Dr. Daniels' life bears witness to what he writes.”
