Product Description
How can you equip your children to live a life of integrity before God and in service to others?

Developing a character that stands firm is not something that happens automatically. As a parent, you need goals for character development and practical ways of achieving those goals. Character Matters! is the essential resource to guide you in this ongoing process.

John and Susan Yates describe how both parents and children can intentionally grow in character through the normal, daily events in life. They highlight eight essential character traits-integrity, faith, a teachable spirit, a servant's heart, self-discipline, joy, compassion, and courage-and give insight into God's perspective on each.

Through stories and practical examples, the Yateses share how they seek to develop these traits in their own lives and in the lives of their five children. By seeing how to use everyday circumstances as opportunities for character development, you'll discover that often the big lessons in life are best learned in the little, everyday issues.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best parenting book, June 13, 2006
So many book out there tells us about how to discipline, communicate with, and teach our children. While all of those are important, but at the end of the day all of those doesn't matter if our children grow up to be a person with a bad character.
John & Susan Yates shared the fact that children copy their parents. Reading this book has helped me to evaluate, learn and grow myself while helping my children to be the people of character.
