I'd like to talk about teaching virtues through literature. And I would like your input.
Here are the seven virtues:Humility (modesty)
Kindness (admiration)
Forgiveness (composure)
Diligence (zeal/integrity/labor)
Charity (giving)
Temperance (self-restraint)
Chastity (purity)What books would you recommend to go with one or more of these virtues? Let's get a list going for everyone in the family -- preschool, grade school, middle school, high school, and adult.
I'll take all of your suggestions and pull them together into one great list. I'll post it here and at the website for free download.
One suggestion from me? Visit Maureen's blog to see virtue in action.

I know a great little book on the virtues that was just published by Simon Peter Press on the seven deadly sins and celestial virtues of motherhood. The title escapes me now ... what was it?
Oh, yes! "Raising Up Mommy: Virtues for Difficult Mothering Moments." I'd be happy to send you or Maureen a copy if you like.
Or you can order it here: http://www.christianword.com.
Blessings!
Applause and cheers, Karen! Very well said!
