Educating for Virtue

Jeff Robertson

Details

Education is Virtue Formation. It isn't about college readiness or being prepared to work at a cubicle for 40 hours per week until you're able to draw Social Security. It's about living as a man or woman made in God's image, stewarding God's gifts, doing God's work, living in God's world, and worshipping him all along the way.
