Book Cover & Preview Text
Inspiration-
When God calls, pay attention and listen to Thee.
Follow His directions and watch where they lead.
Take a leap of faith and let go of control
Because His plans are far better than any you will ever know.
He knows what is best so trust and you will see
That good things will happen when you have faith in Thee.
And if you get on your knees and practice humility,
God will show you the way to the joy that you seek.

About the Book
No matter who you are, you are God’s special child. He has provided you with gifts and virtues to use. If you rely on those virtues to take you to the right road, then you can discover all the wonderful things life has to offer.
The Character Virtues shares poems about twenty-two different traits that will support and direct you through good times and bad. For example, inspiration can help you understand that listening to God and trusting in him will bring you joy. Dedication means you can make and keep commitments every day. Gratitude keeps you focused on the positive things around you. Integrity leads you to do what is right, even when no one else is around. Dignity, strength, patience, faith, and many others all serve as guideposts on your journey.
This collection of poems for children presents verses on twenty-two virtues, designed to teach and guide them away from a life of spiritual poverty and toward the real riches of faith.
