Description

Simplifying the practice of virtue is what James Keenan does so well in Virtues for Ordinary
Christians
. This moral theologian sees beyond the do's and don'ts of moral codes and reclaims the
practice of virtue for the sheer joy of it. Virtue, he shows, brings out the Christian best in us. Keenan
recommends taking a new look at traditional virtues. He weaves theological and cardinal virtues
together with gracious little “human” virtues. Hope becomes the virtue for holding on, courage doing
what you have to when you're afraid, humor, life's necessary salt. An excellent exploration of why
virtues work so well when we work them into daily living.
