Full of Character by Frances Ward
Engaging with current philosophers and thinkers, this book questions the roots to our human condition. It considers the wisdom that traditional Christianity can bring to a Western culture preoccupied with post-truth, individualism and utilitarian methods of thinking. The desire for a fulfilling life is a common motivation to people, regardless of religious faith or non-faith. To be full of character - joyful, thoughtful, resourceful and truthful - we need habits of the heart. This book will explore the ways in which we can imagine our humanity differently, and find happiness as a direct result of becoming full of character.The text will stimulate the reader into thinking differently about the nature of character and what shapes or mis-shapes itIt will invite the reader into a wider horizon of understanding about human flourishing, and deserves to be engaged with seriously, so that hearts and minds can explore in depth a theology of education that commits itself to changed practice.
This book is an important contribution to what might be able to be released if we were to look at our journey of learning from a different perspective, using a different map and guide. Read this book and prepare for your world to look just a little bit different as a result of the journey on which this skilled writer and reflector will take you.
