"Character Counts" is an understatement. Character is crucially important for an abundant life. It is essential that we deepen our understanding of this fundamental truth and to discover how we grow strong in character. Our happiness depends on character. So does the peace of our souls. Our success in family and business depends upon our character. The strength of our nation's government and its economy rests on good character. In fact, character is the single most important building block for quality of life in any individual, company, team or nation. We need to "re-center" the character ethic in American Life. The Case for Character is an effort to help the reader understand what "re-centering" character means, in biblical terms. God's grace and our efforts to develop godly character are not in opposition but instead work together. Grace works through character, which we, in grace have a responsibility to develop.
