DESCRIPTION:
"A Real Page Turner" according to Michael Dubruiel. I'm a long time fan of Father Benedict Groeschel, going back to his Capuchin days and this latest book is pure Father Benedict. As you might expect his look at the virtues isn't a rote rendering of them but a challenging and incredibly entertaining read. I found myself unable to put the book down.A great overview of the virtues--will please all of Father Benedict's fans as well as those who are just coming to know of him.I am the author of The How-To Book of the Mass: Everything You Need to Know but No One Ever Taught You. Easy, Fast Goal-Oriented Text for Any Christian Dcn. Brandon Bredice- Justice Groeschel does not disappoint, if you are an avid fan or a first time reader, this text will present very realistic situations for an expansion of spiritual growth and provide attainable options. The chapters are concise and this is a book one could space out over time or read in a full setting.Groeschel once again challenges the reader to lead a more fully Christian life and uses his psychological background at times to relate to what frustrates and beseiges the modern day person searching for a closer realtionship to God. Excellent as a retreat comp. Great "How to" book This is an extraordinary book. It has both explanations of the virtues and suggestions about how to incorporate them into a person's life. The tone is personal. It seems like the author is talking directly and easily with the reader.
By the end of the book, you will understand that being labeled virtuous is the ultimate compliment!. With wit, warmth, and wisdom, Father Groeschel reintroduces the seven virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and charity. One by one he makes them meaningful for modern men and women, shaking off the dusty mantle of pretentiousness and demonstrating how each has a real role in a whole and holy life.Father Groeschel's charming conversational style entertains even as he educates and challenges us. Since when is being called "virtuous" an insult?It's a word that has gotten a bad rap, misused and misunderstood even by great thinkers, philosophers, and theologians, and mocked in the cynical sound bites of the media.Rediscover virtue as it should be understood in our lives. History, politics, an advertisement, the neighbor down the street all are reference points for Father Groeschel as he explores the meaning of each virtue for Christians today
