Learning the Virtues: That Lead You to God (Spiral bound)

"I cannot recommend this book highly enough." — Fr. Mike Schmitz"Few writers have shaped my understanding of the spiritual life as deeply as Romano Guardini. In Learning the Virtues, he shows that virtue is not merely about becoming 'better behaved,' but about becoming more fully human, more free, and more capable of receiving and responding to God. Guardini's insight into the human heart is extraordinary, and his work has deeply formed the way I think about virtue, discipleship, and holiness."Fr.
