How can we be extreme in our faith commitment without becoming "extremist" in the negative sense of the word? The biblical prophets call us to nothing less than radical living. Their message insists that we develop godly characters consisting of extreme virtues: sacrifice, responsibility, steadfast love, justice, hope, courage, and peace. As a seven-session Bible study, Extreme Virtues will be an invaluable resource for small group and personal reflection on living virtuously on the prophetic edge.

An online study guide is available for this book.
