N2  - What does it mean to love God with all of our minds? In this wise and winsome book, Philip Dow presents a case for the recovery of intellectual character. Virtue is not about doing the right things, but about becoming the right kind of person. The formation of intellectual character produces a way of life that demonstrates love for both God and neighbor. Virtuous Minds is a timely and thoughtful work for parents and pastors, teachers and students--anyone who thinks education is more about the quality of character than about the quantity of facts. --Back Cover
