Books that help lead the young from
knowing what is right to loving what is right

Raising children of noble character is of highest priority for many families. These parents view the moral training of those entrusted to their care, as most valuable aspect of education, and the best assurance of a happy future for the young souls they love. Hours are spent leading these children toward virtue, as God's people have done for centuries.

Journaling Toward Moral Excellence is a tool to bring the young from a place of knowing what is right, to loving what is right. It is a tool to help take this instruction beyond the intellect, into the heart, where the benefits of a changed character begin to take place.

Journaling Toward Moral Excellence

Volume Preview Description
Volume One Preview Begins with the basics of laying a moral foundation, by using prompts in simple vocabulary. Although this journal is appropriate for all ages, it is worded simply enough for the young writer in the elementary years to understand the writing prompts. What better way to introduce a child just discovering the creative gift of writing, than to have the earliest essays be relating to godly values? What a treasure these early compositions will be. In time their work will become a precious and amusing keepsake!
Volume Two Preview Asks one hundred more thought provoking questions, worded specifically with preteen children in mind. The questions asked in this volume are designed to prepare the child for adolescence, and the changes brought by this time in life. Many young people are searching for meaning and purpose, and the scripture quotations in this volume, along with their own written meditations, can help remind preteens of what is both meaningful and purposeful.
Volume Three Preview Especially suitable for a young person in their early teen years. Emphasis is placed on realizing the benefits of how embracing virtue can make the teen years a time in life to look back upon with fond memories, and little regret. This can be a period when values are being challenged, and it is hoped that this collection of writing prompts will help the young realize the advantages of living life God's way, and to see that God's way is truly worthy of their admiration and commitment.
Volume Four Preview Compiled especially with the pressure of the later teenage years in mind. In a nation now suffering like never before from the consequences of moral decay, this volume invites the young adult to find a quiet place, away from chaos surrounding so many teenagers, to write about eternal truths, what they have discovered about themselves and what they have discovered in their walk with God. This edition aims to equip the older teenager for the blessings and responsibility of adulthood, by inviting them to consider and write about topics that will ease the transition into adult life.
