“The historically venerated concept of virtue has fallen on hard times. In this morally dark moment, David Goza’s book, Seeking Virtue, unfolds the dimensions of virtue according to Scripture and history. Goza has carefully winnowed choice citations related to classic biblical and historical examples of virtuous—or corrupt—thinking and behavior. Highly recommended for anyone courageously undertaking the ‘road less traveled’ of virtue.”
“Weaving examples from ancient history as well as more modern American and British history, Dr. Goza has compiled a goldmine of inspirational stories on virtuous living. The preacher will be indebted to Dr. Goza for finding inspirational stories to use in sermons. Parents will find principles and stories to teach their children. Every reader will be convicted toward a more virtuous life.”
“It is obvious that David is a student of and scholar in both Scripture and history. Seeking Virtue will be a book that pastors, Bible teachers, and anyone who loves history will have on their ‘read schedule’ and then serve as strategic resource in sermon and lesson preparation.”
