Fireside Chat on the Virtues

A Fireside Chat on the Virtues, by Karen K. Hernandez, PhD The virtues are not abstract concepts! They are rooted in a celebrative relationship with God. They can flow out of us just like they flowed out of Jesus Christ! Traditionally, we have seen the virtues as archaic, sanctimonious ways to score ourselves -- like a pop quiz God gives us as we stagger into the classroom! In reality, virtue is all about relationship! They show us how to grow into a full relationship with our Father -- where we have what we need to live creatively and well. "They" have a face and a personality. They communicate the big picture, and tell the Gospel story. They summarize the ways Christ interacts with us and convey parts of His personality. They help us understand our own development and show where He is trying to take us. The virtues are alive!Fireside Chat on the Virtues, was published 2005 under ISBN 9781933411019 and ISBN 1933411015.
