“When the Lord knows that good health is necessary for our welfare, He sends it to us; and when we need sickness, He sends that too.”

                               -St. Teresa of Avila

For Reflection:

Can I think of a time in my own life (or in the life of another) when sickness was a blessing? What spiritual benefits did it bring? How does this continue to bring meaning to Romans 8:28 for me?

This book explains each of the classical human virtues most essential to the training of a leader--magnanimity, humility, prudence, courage, self-control and justice.  It demonstrates how these virtues promote personal transformation and the attainment of self-fulfillment.  It also considers the Christian supernatural virtues of faith, hope and charity without which no study of leadership can be complete.
