Moral Wisdom

An excellent and easy to read book, and would highly recommend it to anyone studying beginning moral theology. Fr. Keenan uses his personal life experiences to add insight and enrichment to each topic presented within the book. It was hard to set down, once I started reading it.

Great Book

"Though virtues assist us to harness weaknesses and overcome pitfalls, their overriding function is to develop strengths" (p.30). Fr. Keenan is a wonderful storyteller in that he weaves the virtues through drama and practice. In Psalm 51 we pray, "Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom." This book, Moral Wisdom, is the answer to this prayer request!
