Story Behind the Book
“When studying godly character I realized two things. First, I knew more about my cholesterol than I did my character. What are the qualities of godly character, and how am I developing them in my life? Second, although our nation is putting millions of dollars into character education in schools, we aren’t seeing positive results. How can that be changed? There’s no way I can change a culture overnight, but I can help people understand and learn how to cultivate godly character one heart at a time. This book is the result of that quest.”
—Bill Ritchie
