"In this wise, eminently accessible, and truly practical book, Mark O'Keefe demonstrates how the virtues form us into persons who know how to live truly good and happy lives. What distinguishes Virtues Abounding is that O'Keefe probes not only Aquinas's treatment of the four cardinal virtues, but also all the other virtues associated with them. In this way he breaks open the richness of Aquinas's analysis and reveals why it remains so relevant for us today."
--Paul J. Wadell, St. Norbert College, De Pere, Wisconsin

"Fr. O'Keefe's Virtues Abounding manages to do the near impossible. He offers an account of the virtues that both closely follows St. Thomas Aquinas, and accessibly speaks to our contemporary situation. Though addressing nearly all of the myriad sub-virtues and opposing vices found in St. Thomas's Summa, Fr. O'Keefe manages to connect these to contemporary experiences such as 24-hour news, eating disorders, consumerism, and individualism. Scholars will recognize his stands on contested issues . . . but the reader new to Aquinas will find a penetrating and illuminating account of living virtuously, especially in the Christian life of grace."
--William Mattison, University of Notre Dame

"For all teaching the virtues in colleges, universities, seminaries and parish settings, here is your new book: Mark O'Keefe's splendid Virtues Abounding. O'Keefe provides us with a cornucopia of virtues: not only justice, prudence, temperance and fortitude, but also their sub-virtues . . . Clearly the worthy, contemporary successor to Josef Pieper's The Four Cardinal Virtues, O'Keefe's work should now become the virtue handbook for the 21st century."
