Praise for this book

"Few contemporary evangelical writers have so profitably explored the meaning and implications of the Christian worldview and the Christian mind as has Jim Sire. Now his wise, well-informed, and witty work Habits of the Mind puts us even further in his debt. His profound ruminations on the nature, purpose, responsibilities, and feel of the Christian intellect delve deeply into Scripture and draw richly from history."
"Over the last twenty-five years, no one has written so widely and helpfully about the challenge facing Christian students as has James Sire. Page upon page, year after year, he has set before a generation the meaning of the Christian faith-intellectually rich and profoundly true. Now in Habits of the Mind, one hears countless conversations and a lifetime of listening in this call to love what we believe, to live the truth even as we learn to probe and ponder it."
"This may be Dr. Sire's best book yet! He has introduced us to many fellow travelers on the road to wisdom who are great discoveries in themselves. He helpfully points us to the all-important links-mind and heart, passion for holiness and passion for truth-links that should be indissoluble, but alas are not, between knowing truth and obeying God."
