Jesus words, "Remember Lot's wife," is a compelling call to reflect on her disobedience. But what about Lot? Lot's wife is known for one tragic decision. She appears in paragraph of Genesis and again in Jesus' instruction. But what about Lot? Lot made multiple decisions that set his wife up to fail. Bad Decisions - The Legacy of Lot is an autopsy of Lot's choices. Lot's decisions to disrespect others, to pursue wealth, to immerse his family in the cesspool known as Sodom, to disregard his obligation as a parent are the making of chaos. The aftermath of Lot's life was two sons born of incest. These two sons were the forefathers of two nations: Moab and Ammon. Both nations withstood Israel at every turn. Decisions, decisions, decisions. From Lot's bad decisions we can learn to be wise and make better decisions. All was not permanently lost, giving hope to any person whose family history is ugly. One lady, breaks free of the legacy of Lot. Ruth was the great-grandmother of David. No matter how bad your family tree, you can leave your children in better spiritual condition.Bad Decisions - The Legacy of Lot has received compelling reviews. Anthony Mangun, Pastor of the Pentecostals of Alexandria: I recommend Bad Decisions – The Legacy of Lot to any man who wants to lead a life comprised of good and godly decisions. I commend Carlton Coon for the time and study that has gone into his latest. He has done excellent work! The content is challenging and thought-provoking, and brings a unique biblical perspective to the process of decision-making. The connection of the scripture "Remember Lot's wife" and the concept of "Remember Lot" is remarkable. This book can be a life-changer for anyone who doesn't just read it - but acts on it! Pastor Bill Morris, Director of Australian Missions: I really love the concept and content of Bad Decisions – The Legacy of Lot. It will bless many men, and women as well. Pastor and Author Marvin W. Arnold Jr.: In his latest book “Bad Decisions” (The Legacy of Lot) Carlton L. Coon Sr. methodically sifts through Lot’s self proclaimed resume and reveals to us the truth concerning Lot’s journey through life, a life that was filled with bad decisions. As a reader, you will finally understand the real reason why Lot’s wife “looked back.” While Lot’s wife physically followed her self absorbed and independent husband out of Sodom, her heart lay behind them, not just in Sodom, but perhaps in the land of blessing, within the camp of Abram. Through his rash and selfish decision making, Lot recklessly severed all ties with a God led spiritual Father and mentor, affecting not only himself, but also the future of his wife and children. Carlton Coon gives great insight to us as to how to be an independent man without abandoning a Godly pattern and Godly counsel “The Legacy of Lot” is a sobering and must read for every young man, husband and father who desire to make right decisions throughout life, for those who desire history to record, they left behind a Godly legacy.Bad Decisions – The Legacy of Lot is an eye opening read on the life of Lot. It should be in every man’s toolbox. It is a powerful resource for boys transitioning to men, husbands, fathers, and leaders. I wish I’d had this book as a younger man, even now it is changing my perspective on so much. (Paul Nightengale)“Decisions can make or break our future. While most teachers tend to use the positive traits of biblical characters, Bro. Coon masterfully draws on the life of Lot to illustrate the dangers of making bad decisions. Every chapter is written in a way to force the reader to evaluate their own choices in the light of Lot’s failures. This book would benefit anyone who struggles with making positive decisions. It would also serve as an excellent reference for pastors who are helping others make better godly decisions.”Pastor Daniel Bracamonte, Apostolic Review

A Necessary Wake-Up Call for True Masculinity

In an age where many men find solace in the illusion of strength—confusing dominance with leadership, independence with isolation, and pride with virtue—this book stands as a clarion call to authenticity. It is not merely a book; it is a mirror, reflecting the deep-seated tendencies that often go unexamined in the hearts of men who have been conditioned to suppress vulnerability under the guise of masculinity.

Reading this was, for me, a gut check of the highest order. Few books have challenged me so profoundly. It confronted my inclination to hide behind a façade of self-sufficiency while ignoring the deeper, unresolved issues that quietly fester beneath the surface. Pride, control, and the avoidance of true surrender—these are the very things that must be laid at the feet of Christ if we are to walk in the fullness of our calling as men.

This book forces introspection. It does not coddle, nor does it shame. Instead, it beckons us toward responsibility, toward genuine leadership, and ultimately, toward transformation through faith. I am deeply grateful for its impact and the truths it compelled me to wrestle with.

For any men’s group, leadership team, or individual seeking to grow into a more biblically grounded, emotionally honest, and spiritually surrendered man, this book is indispensable. I highly recommend it.

Amazing and timely

What a great book for any Christian, especially for men and family. It’s a great title for men who are leaving their home and it helps them to know how to leave properly. It speaks of the dangers of not leading your family well and how that affects member in the family followed by a great example of how a man should leave his family in serving Christ.
