No matter how beautiful the exterior might be, a building can’t stand strong—or last long—without the right support structure. That’s also true of the Christian life. It’s not what you seem to be on the outside that defines your character. Rather, genuine and lasting Christian character finds its power in a handful of hidden heart attitudes.

In The Pillars of Christian Character, John MacArthur shows you the Bible’s blueprint for building the kind of inner foundation that puts God’s power and righteousness on display. This practical study takes you beneath the façade of mere behavior to examine the heart, showing you how to cultivate vital, Spirit-filled attitudes like humility, love, forgiveness, joy, faith, compassion, and contentment.

This study guide includes questions to help facilitate deeper study, discussion, and application, making it an ideal resource for either your personal or group study. It’s also the perfect companion to The Pillars of Christian Character audio series, which you can listen to free of charge at gty.org or via the Grace to You app.

Discover the power of God’s Word for developing fundamental Christian attitudes, and make sure your life is one built—as John’s was—for faithfulness to the end.
