Product Description
by M. Glynn Burke (Author)
What are the elements that make for the growth of good personality? What is it that helps us be better persons? These are the questions we're asking in this series of messages. We have set for ourselves a goal to examine some of the factors that make for growth in Christian personality. We begin by talking about the importance of healthy self-evaluation. We consider the elements of friendship, the development of good habits, the important element of love, the meaning of liberty and how we may achieve real freedom, the Bible as a resource for good living, inspiration as a force that can help us be better persons and learning to master tension and finding inner peace.
