Customer comments on this selection.
don't be put off by the lame title! this book is a fine summary and practical look at the virtues. i highly recommend it for either reading or as a bible study. we are using it as a men's study.
Good introduction to Christian Virtue. This books is a good introduction to the four cardinal virtues and the theological virtues. It uses the Catechism of the Catholic Church and personal experience to show how important developing virtues (habits for doing what is good with ease, promptness, and joy) to live a happy and successful life. The section on the theological virtues is good (supernatural habits which bring us into union with God). I highly recommend this book.
For Women and Girls TOO! Virtue rocks "Values": how&why This is great on audiotape too. The most down to earth, sensible, practical book on the subject. A vital necessity to growing in common sense and wisdom. How does one exercise prudence? justice? charity? While every father needs this book or tape, every mom will benefit from reading and listening over dad's shoulders. It is a treasure chest that you will refer to often so don't hide it from yourself and consider this as a simple, yet significant way to improve your corner of the world: give copies to those you love and know. We've received abundant praises for this and when lending it out, found that it was lent out to another family and another. We ended up buying 2 copies due to the late return.
The Must Have Book for Coaches! This is the must have book for coaching boys sports. You can take the virtues described in Tim's book and transform into team talks. There is a group that advocates this book and has done wonders with sporting teams. [...] and see how they use virtue talks to spark the faith.
Faith Formation As a book for our Men's Group the book is very helpful to teach us what virtues are to be about. The implemenation of the scripture and catechesis are powerful and I can't say enough good things about this small study book. Thank you and God Bless.
