Lying and Deception
This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of moral and conceptual questions about lying and deception. Carson argues that there is a moral presumption against lying and deception that causes harm, he examines case-studies from business, politics, and history, and he offers a qualified defence of the view that honesty is a virtue.
Memoirs of an Ordinary Pastor
D. A. Carson's father was a pioneering church-planter and pastor in Quebec. But still, an ordinary pastor-except that he ministered during the decades that brought French Canada from the brutal challenges of persecution and imprisonment for Baptist ministers to spectacular growth and revival in the 1970s. It is a story, and an era, that few in the English-speaking world know anything about. But through Tom Carson's journals and written prayers, and the narrative and historical background supplied by his son, readers will be given a firsthand account of not only this trying time in North American church history, but of one pastor's life and times, dreams and disappointments. With words that will ring true for every person who has devoted themselves to the Lord's work, this unique book serves to remind readers that though the sacrifices of serving God are great, the sweetness of living a faithful, obedient life is greater still.
Value and the Good Life
For as long as humans have pondered philosophical issues, they have contemplated "the good life." Yet most suggestions about how to live a good life rest on assumptions about what the good life actually is. Thomas Carson here confronts that question from a fresh perspective. Surveying the history of philosophy, he addresses first-order questions about what is good and bad as well as metaethical questions concerning value judgments.

He offers a new critique of Mill's and Sidgwick's classic arguments for the hedonistic theory of value, employing thought experiments that invite us to clarify our preferences by choosin...

The Mouse House
The setting for this two act play is in a cottage somewhere in Ontario. Carson, a successful author has arrived at the end of the fall season to write his latest book. He chose this time of year to be in complete isolation; with no phone, and away from his tormented life. Late one night, Carson is jolted awake by the sounds of an intruder climbing in through the window. He knocks the intruder out. The next morning, Troy, an angry teenaged delinquent regains concousness, and discovers Carson has chained him to a heavy metal bed. With unexpected revelations which turn the play on it's head, these two fierce opponents find themselves coming face to face with their inner demons, and an emerging unspoken trust. This award winning drama premiered at the Peterborough Theatre Guild in 2012, receiving standing ovations night after night. It was an instant resounding hit, and went on to win Best Production of an original Canadian Play at both the E.O.D.L. Festival and at the Theatre Ontario Festival.
