Adam starts this study be explaining the importance of building these graces one upon another in order to develop a life etched in Christian character. He explains why it is pertinent to pay attention to their ordering and not try to strengthen your patience before focusing on temperance, or the problem with pursuing godliness before virtue.
For each grace, we learn it's Biblical importance, other uses of the original Greek term (including other translations), Biblical and modern examples, and why this grace is still relevant and pertinent to building a life of character in today's world.
Adam explains even the most theological aspects on a personal level that most people should be able to relate to. He simplifies complex ideas without making you feel as though it's been over diluted. I would recommend Christian Graces to teens and adults who want to gain a better understanding and perspective of the Biblical character we should all aspire to possess. 4/5 stars.
