Gene Wilkes: Defining Character

by newhope

Listen as pastor, teacher, and author Gene Wilkes defines character from a biblical perspective. Learn why he believes character determines if we will live out God’s full potential for our lives.

In Character: The Pulse of a Disciple’s Heart, Gene Wilkes and Norman Blackaby present an array of biblical case studies that illustrate how God shapes us into His likeness and how He can use us to accomplish His plans. You’ll learn how God worked in the lives of Moses, Joshua, Mary and Martha, Hannah, Joseph, Barnabas, Philemon, Ruth, and many others.

Wilkes and Blackaby write: “What determines if a person will live out God’s full potential for his or her life? We believe it is the issue of character. Character is the single most distinguishing aspect of a person’s life. . . . God cares more about chracter than our skills, personality, or intelligence because, biblically, character is a matter of the ‘heart.’”

A free sample of this book is available for download here.

Carroll Theological Institute in the areas of church leadership and New Testament studies. He also serves as an adjunct professor with Dallas Baptist University in the Graduate School of Leadership.
