To live virtuously is to trust totally in the providence of God, undisturbed by vices that tempt us to make our projects more important than God's guidance. Read this book and let go of the heavy weight of excessive worry, destructive gossip, and undue meddling. Explore the virtues of the inner life like courage and gratitude, which affect our character.
