Our Story
How Valley of Virtue Came to Be
The Beginning
Valley of Virtue was born from a simple but profound observation: in a culture that celebrates achievement and success, character often takes a back seat. We noticed that young people were being taught what to do and how to succeed, but rarely were they being taught who to become.
This realization sparked a question: What would it look like to intentionally cultivate Godly character? What if there was a resource that made the study and practice of virtue accessible, Biblical, and inspiring?
The Inspiration
The inspiration for Valley of Virtue came during a family conversation about the kind of people we wanted our children to become. We realized that while we prayed for their salvation and success, what we truly longed for was their character—that they would be people of integrity, compassion, courage, and faith.
That conversation led to years of study, prayer, and development. We pored over Scripture, read classic texts on virtue, and interviewed pastors, educators, and parents. Slowly, a vision emerged: a comprehensive guide to 52 essential virtues, each one rooted in Biblical truth and illustrated with examples from Scripture, literature, and history.
The Journey
Creating Valley of Virtue has been a labor of love. We've spent countless hours researching each virtue, crafting definitions that are both accessible and profound, and curating quotes and examples that inspire and instruct.
Along the way, we've been humbled by the depth and beauty of God's Word. Each virtue we've studied has revealed more of His character and His heart for us. We've been challenged, convicted, and encouraged.
Our hope is that this resource will not just inform but transform—that as you study and practice these virtues, you'll grow closer to God and become more like Christ.
The Vision
We envision a generation of believers who are marked not just by what they believe, but by who they are—people of deep character and genuine virtue. We dream of homes, churches, and schools where the cultivation of character is a priority, where young and old alike are intentional about becoming more like Christ.
Valley of Virtue is our contribution to that vision. It's a tool, a guide, and an invitation. We invite you to join us on this journey—to study, reflect, and practice. To become not just hearers of the Word, but doers. To pursue virtue with all your heart.
Looking Forward
This is just the beginning. Volume 1 is now available, and we're hard at work on Volumes 2, 3, and 4. Each volume will continue to explore the rich landscape of virtue, offering fresh insights and practical applications.
We're also building a community—a place where people can share their experiences, encourage one another, and grow together. Because virtue is not cultivated in isolation; it's nurtured in the soil of relationship and community.
