He draws from his own experience and the life of John Henry Newman to explore how to think well for the glory of God and the sake of his kingdom. \u003ci\u003eHabits of the Mind\u003c\/i\u003e challenges you to avoid one ofthe greatest pitfalls of intellectual life: the temptation to separate being from knowing. Sire shows how to cultivate intellectual virtues and disciplines--habits of the mind--that will strengthen you in pursuit of your calling. Thinking well is integral to acting righteously. Sire offers assurance that intellectual life can be a true calling for Christians: because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, you can and should accept the challenge to think with more accuracy, wisdom, humility, and passion.
