Building Character: A Puritan Guide (English Edition)

"Our character today is, for the most part, simply the result of all the thoughts we have ever had, all the feelings we have ever cherished, and all the deeds we have ever done. It is the entirety of our previous years packed and crystalized into the present moment, the epitome of biography. Anyone who knows our character (and there is no keeping character undercover) pretty much knows what we have been thinking and doing for the past several decades because character is, for the most part, habits that have become fixed." Thus begins this timely, thought-provoking book about character. Though a quick read, it is packed with helpful information about what character is, how to build it, how to protect it from various influences, and the role of the Christian experience in building a stronger character. Inspirational reading for any Christian with many thoughts drawn from the great Puritan works of the past.
