How to Attain Lasting Liberty (Caution: Doing So May Give the ACLU Agita)

"[I]t is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand....The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a great Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty."
--John Adams, letter to Zabdiel Adams, 21 June 1776

Anyone looking for a good way to grow in their understanding of virtue & how to live a truly virtuous life would do well to read this book by Fr. Groeschel. It is an excellent book that aids in your understanding of what the the 7 virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, & charity are. It isn't a stuffy, theoretical look at them. It is a practical guide to living those virtues out on a daily basis in all aspects of your life. Anyone who is familiar with Fr. Groeschel from his appearances on EWTN, including his live show, will find this book the closest thing to actually having him in your house for a personal retreat on the subject.
It is available at the EWTN Religious Catalog as well as many other sources including your local Catholic bookstore.
