The Power for True Success To find buried treasure you must first seek, and then where “X” marks the spot, dig! This book is a treasure of instruction, guidance, and insight about forty-nine character qualities. It is written as a Biblical study of each quality, but looks at each quality from many directions, as one would examine a diamond. The chapter on “honor,” for example, first gives the definition; then the original Greek word and its meaning; the key to reverence, a necessity for honor; a powerful, living example of honor; a personal evaluation section; and more. Today’s treasure seeker won’t find this edition buried under a stack of other books though, because this one belongs as much on the coffee table due to its attractive illustrations and thought-provoking content as it does in the study for constant reference and reflection.
