The
Virtue
Habit
A Field Guide for Forming Wisdom, Character & Courage
For young people on the road to college, calling, and what comes next.
Paperback · 191 Pages · $18.99
Character is not built in the big moments. It is built in the small, repeated ones.
What you do with your phone at eleven at night. Who you sit with at lunch. How you talk to yourself when no one is watching. The habits a young person keeps today are quietly writing who they will become.
What It Is
A Field Guide and a Companion Workbook
The Virtue Habit is a field guide and companion workbook for students standing at the threshold of college, calling, and everything after. Drawn from nearly three decades of college counseling and mentorship, it moves through twelve themes of formation, from habits and friendship to faith, courage, and family.
Each chapter offers six practical, faith-forward habits worth keeping, paired with reflection pages made to be written in, returned to, and talked through with a parent, friend, or mentor. Not a checklist. Not a college playbook. A companion for forming the kind of person who can carry whatever comes next, with wisdom, with character, and with courage.
