Maureen Wittmann and Love2Learn are working on a reading list sorted by virtues. Wouldn't be helpful to arrange our reading schedule to help us focus on individual virtues? For example, if a child is struggling with forgiveness or charity, we could choose books that extol those virtues in addition to our other efforts such as prayerand correction. Once it's all put together, it'll be offered free on the Love2Learn and Maureen Wittmann websites.
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.
Here's the link to leave your suggestions: http://maureenwittmann.blogspot.com/2008/02/virtues-reading-list.htm
Or leave a comment and I will be sure to forward it to Love2Learn.
