Talks to Boys: Classic Teaching on Virtues and Values
by Eleanor A. Hunter Author
(From Amazon): VALUES NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE. Virtues and values can sound old-fashioned, quaint, or out-dated. But in a society where absolutes are rapidly disappearing, many parents are returning to the values of the past for guidance as they rear their children. Originally published in the late 1800s by the American Tract Society, Talks To Boys gives readers a glimpse into what it was like to grow up one hundred years ago. Each short essay addresses a different virtue or value and includes questions to help spark thought and discussion. Ideal for reading aloud as a family, Talks to Boys provides timeless teachings on virtues and values that never go out of style.
