Local Author Releases New Book On Building Character
FishHawk resident Steven R. Johnson recently penned and published a new book titled BUILDING CHARACTER: The Values Journal. The manuscript is described as a transformative, scripture-based personal development guide that enables parents and children to center their life on four core principles.
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Johnson’s book is an invaluable resource for Christian families looking to establish a solid foundation not just for the individual but the entire household and their society.
Johnson writes, “In today’s rapidly evolving world, the erosion of individual character is increasingly evident. Values-based societies require vigilant character development to sustain ethical behavior across public and private life. BUILDING CHARACTER: The Values Journal is intended to provide a tool to assist on the journey toward character development.”
Johnson, a married father of two, has worked with the U.S. Department of Defense as a soldier in the army and as a civilian at the strategic command level. You can view a synopsis of BUILDING CHARACTER: The Values Journal on YouTube.
