Classical Christian Virtues: Contemplating the Good Life
Inspired by Aristotle's idea of the golden mean, Dr. Timothy Dernlan uses a socratic approach to draw the reader into a personalized, biblically based study of sixty classical Christian virtues. He stimulates the reader with thought-provoking questions, Bible verses, quotations, and a self-assessment for each virtue. This book can be used for personal contemplation, small group studies, family devotions, Bible study, or a classroom discussion guide.

Dr. Dernlan makes a valuable contribution to the conversation about shaping our own thoughts and especially the thoughts and attitudes of the next generation. That being said, I disagreed with a lot of Derlan's definitions as well as the connections between the virtues and vices. As I began working my way through the book, I quickly found myself rewriting definitions and/or changing things whole cloth. Perhaps the greatest value of the book is that it pushes one to think carefully for one's self.
