This inspiring book is stocked with examples of everyday Christian virtue, how the personal expression of virtue leads believers to a life of happiness and fulfillment in the Lord's service.

Drawing on Biblical stories and the life of Jesus, Frank Boreham explains with wisdom and knowledge how Christians used their insight to beneficent ends. Through the examples of conduct given in the stories of the Bible, the receptive believer can gain an impression of what virtue means in matters of personal conduct, and in dealing with the challenges of life. These are matters such as enduring the hardship of poverty, coping with the emotionally battering experience of grief, and the importance of discussion and compromise between those in conflict.

Frank Boreham was all too used to drawing upon spiritual wisdom to offer guidance to ordinary Christians. Born and educated in England, as a young man Boreham decided to emigrate Australia and become a minister; it was his poignant and relatable writings that earned him fame. His decades spent writing and working as a priest were ample acquaintance for a range of subjects inclusive of the Heavenly Octave of virtue. Accordingly, readers felt assured and enthused when reading his many and varied books.
