What does it mean to live a good life?
· Know what makes for a good life
· Pursue character and meaning
· Recover the virtues that have guided Christians before us

In today's fragmented world, we are encouraged to define for ourselves what is good. But this inevitably fails to satisfy. In The Pursuit of Character, Matthew Arbo argues that we can learn how to live a good life by recovering the virtues that have guided Christians before us. Arbo reintroduces readers to the seven cardinal and theological virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice, faith, hope, and love. Readers will know what each virtue means (and doesn't mean) and how to go about acquiring it. Pursuing virtue is good in itself, and by becoming virtuous we enrich our lives and those around us.

Anyone seeking direction in their journey toward a meaningful and fulfilling life will find The Pursuit of Character to be the ideal starting point.
