This book looks at the most essential character traits or attitudes a faithful Christian should have. In particular the book focuses a chapter on each of the following:

* Faith
* Obedience
* Humility
* Selfless Love
* Unity
* Growth
* Forgiveness and Blessing
* Rejoicing
* Gratitude
* Strength
* Self-Discipline
* Worshiping God
* Hope

This book is well wrote and researched. As always, MacArthur describes his points with Scriptural truth. This book is easy enough for the beginning Christian to understand, but also powerful enough for the more mature Christian to continue their growth.

At the end of the book is a study guide for each chapter. It contains a brief summary of the chapter, a few questions to think about or discuss, a couple of topics to prayer about, and ways to apply the chapter in your life.

This is an excellent book for anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with the Lord and living a life which brings honor to Him. This secular world presents continual challenges which divert our focus from a living faith. This book can help us climb the ladder in pursuit of our Lord's calling.

I read this book many monthes ago and have decided to post a review about it. This is a well-written and straight forward type of book. For young and older Christians alike, it will challenge you to be more faithful in the various 'traits' we are to show and perform. In the classic MacArthur writing style, this book is very concise and straight to the point. Supported by Biblical truth, you will see just how much, and to what, God calls you to be. This is a very applicable book. I recommend it to all.

I have read many of John Macarthur's books and he has never failed me. This is a very good book for both new believers and veteran christians. I highly urge people to read this and soak in the truth that Macarthur constantly exhibits.
