Saintly Habits: Aquinas' 7 Simple Strategies You Can Use to Grow in Virtue
"I've often wanted a book that both explains theology clearly AND makes it practical. This one is a gem. Dr. Whitmore's explanations don't water down the theology yet are easy for busy people to grasp. And the value doesn't stop there—I loved the strategies that made everything totally practical. If you want to find the motivation to finally break bad habits and gain consistency, Saintly Habits is an absolute must!"

"Dr. Andrew Whitmore's book Saintly Habits: 7 Simple Strategies You Can Use to Grow in Virtue is a delightful and extraordinarily helpful book. It simultaneously serves as a practical guide to growing in virtue and a simple primer in ethics. The effective advice he gives is time-tested and grounded in the wisdom of the ages. Those who read his book will understand the key features of virtue ethics and will have a solid set of tools for putting it in place. This book is accessible for those who are just starting out and yet it does not shy away from laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning. I highly recommend it!"

"We talk about virtue and vice a lot, but we don't always know what those terms mean, whether we have virtue, or how to overcome our vices. In Saintly Habits, Andrew Whitmore offers a clear and concise guide to knowing what virtue is and how to achieve it in our own lives. Each chapter focuses on one aspect of virtue and gives a solid strategy for growth in virtue. Even more helpfully, each chapter is divided into one- or two-page sections, which makes it a perfect companion for reflection during a Holy Hour and easy to read in a few quiet moments. Best of all, Whitmore shows how we can integrate our quest for virtue with our prayer lives and the life of the Church..."

"In every parish, there are faithful Catholics looking for ways to grow in virtue, even though they may know little about Thomistic virtue ethics.

About the Author

Andrew Whitmore is a theologian with a passion for helping Catholics understand moral theology. After a profound reversion to the faith during his undergraduate, Andrew earned an advanced degree in theology from the Catholic University of America (PhD). During his studies, he specialized in St. Thomas Aquinas’ treatment of the virtues. His other academic interests include biblical and sacramental theology.

Andrew currently serves as an assistant professor of theology at Christendom College in Front Royal, Virginia, where he teaches courses including Moral Theology, Bioethics, Christology, and Grace. In addition to teaching moral theology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, he also frequently gives public talks to laity and teaches moral theology to candidates for the permanent diaconate throughout the country.

Andrew is married to his wife, Shannon, and together they raise their two children. As a married couple, Andrew and Shannon have given talks for Catholic marriage preparation courses.
