Right, Wrong and Righteous (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218908751)

What if the greatest threat to our faith isn't being wrong-but needing to be right?

In Right, Wrong, and Righteous, Clay Phillips offers an honest, deeply reflective Christian memoir about the slow and often uncomfortable journey from self-reliance to surrender, from pride to humility, and from defending one's own understanding to seeking righteousness as defined by Scripture and modeled by Jesus Christ.

Raised in a large military family and shaped by discipline, competition, and early faith, Clay spent much of his life equating strength with certainty and conviction with control. Over time, that posture hardened into rigidity-subtle at first, but costly in relationships. It wasn't until a trusted friend courageously held up a mirror that Clay began to see what he could not yet recognize in himself: a growing need to be right that was crowding out grace.

What follows is not a story of sudden transformation, but of daily formation. Through lived experience, Scripture, and hard-earned self-awareness, Clay explores what it means to unlearn pride, relinquish control, listen more carefully, and pursue righteousness not as a performance-but as a practice. His reflections move from childhood formation and adult confrontation to humility, peacemaking, joy, and the quiet work of becoming a safe place for others.

This book does not claim arrival. It is written from the middle of the journey-by a man who is still broken, still flawed, still imperfect, and still choosing each day to examine his heart honestly and abide by God's Word as faithfully as he can. Right, Wrong, and Righteous is an invitation for readers to do the same.

Ideal for individual reading, men's groups, discipleship settings, and father-son conversations, this book speaks to anyone who has ever confused being right with being faithful-and is ready to learn a better way.
