Book Overview
There's more to goodness than keeping the Commandments: you've got to cultivate virtue, too, so that you please God in what you do -- not merely in what you don't do. In these pages, you'll learn countless ways to grow in such virtue.
The wise Msgr. Romano Guardini, a German priest hailed by Pope Benedict XVI as "a great figure" who "aspired to the truth of God and to the truth of man," leads you from a consideration of virtue in itself to a discussion of each of the key virtues that will make you holy and lead you to God.
Here you'll learn how to begin practicing the virtues and make them part of your daily routine. You'll also learn about:
