Lying Illustration from ESP Character Training

“I saw your book advertised in the No Greater Joy magazine and I am very interested in purchasing it.  I had read your apple illustration and thought "what a great and practical idea....I'll file this away and maybe use it someday" never thinking that the opportunity would come the very next day!  My 7 year old daughter’s school called and apparently she had been involved in some foolish behavior but then made it worse by trying to cover it up by lying. I was able to pull out my apple and demonstrate how lying makes us "rotten and nasty inside"!   Many thanks.  I can't wait to see what else is in your book!”

The illustration this woman read is from page 18 of the Honesty chapter in ESP Character Training.

It says, “A great way to illustrate how lies multiply is to pull out a beautiful, perfect-looking apple and see if anyone wants it. While handing the apple to the blessed recipient, turn it to expose a mushy, brown side. When the proper ‘Yuck!’ response is received, explain that lies make us yucky like that apple. From a distance people may not see our lies, but as they get closer they will see how “yucky” our lies make us.  Show how the apple got so disgusting. It started out with one small lie from a child saying he didn’t sneak a treat. (Hit the apple with something blunt.) A small bruise is formed, but not too ugly. A child may get away with one small lie without anyone noticing, but lies often multiply. Suddenly, when a candy wrapper is found suspiciously on the floor by where he had been sitting, another lie is required to cover up the first one. (Hit apple again.) The apple looks less appealing. Next a requests is made to smell his breath and it is determined it smells a lot like chocolate; now a bigger lie must be produced to maintain the initial lie. (Hit apple hard.) Now it is obvious that the child is lying, just like it is obvious the apple is not edible. Moral: lying is yucky.”
