Quest for Virtue is a wonderfully written-testimony of the goodness, faithfulness, and mercy of God. It is a poignant reminder that when we allow ourselves to "be still and know that I am God", He can and will work in and through our lives. The writer echoes the words of St. Augustine's cry; my heart will not rest, O God, until it rests in you.
