The Fruits of Virtue: Making The Case For Living A Principle Centered Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798589699036)

What does it mean to be a moral person?And whose morality are we talking about?Does being moral actually make a difference in one's life? Does it affect the larger community? If so, what are the benefits and how are they manifest?Are moral principles intuitive, placed in us by the Creator? And does that make it easier to be moral? Does achieving virtue in any degree come as a result of following our conscience (and natural law) that permeate our universe?Are the tried-and-true universal virtues- a manual for living a happy and prosperous life? How do we cultivate morality and virtue in our lives?Are there objective principles of right and wrong? If so, what are they and where are they found?Is there anyone who can declare or confirm truth- with moral authority? Do they have credibility?The founders of the United States of America wanted to establish a free and lasting government. To determine what that would be, they examined the teachings of the great thinkers and writers of the ages. Did you know they even studied sacred scripture?.They discovered that freedom and liberty were only achieved when the people lived by moral and virtuous principles. History confirms that when any nation ceases to abide by natural law or virtue, they decline. Benjamin Franklin believed that, "Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom."How do you see America as a nation- today?How would you evaluate yourself personally (in terms of living by a moral code)?Natural law is essentially synonymous with virtue and morality. When we choose to pursue and live by these principles, in the best way possible, we will find real happiness and peace.The mission of this book is to help you personally discover or reclaim the "ageless" principles that this country was founded upon, and to live by them; learning for yourself that they truly bring a deeper meaning and satisfaction to your life.
