Verses That Build Character

The Proverbs have been the parenting guidebook since Solomon wrote them! Storing God's Word in a child's heart is a sure way towards helping him/her become a faithful servant and a positive adult!

Use these verses for copy work, recitation, memorization, and correction. Consider assigning a verse to be written multiple times when "a brother offends." Pencil work will be character building! The following topics are covered below: prosperity, discretion/prudence, loyalty, goodness, joy, honesty, humility, justice, mercy, righteousness, courage, truthfulness, trueness, and giving. Additionally, verses for correction of specific problems such as work slow-down, obedience, discipline, temper, and so forth are also listed. These verses were compiled by Mary Leggewie.
