"52 Traits" is an invaluable tool to help foster your child or grandchild's faith and character. In today's fast paced and self center world, it brings the focus to qualities we all should build. I super love the conversation starter question ideas to use in the car, at dinner and to text our children. Can't wait for the next lesson! Starla - Wisconsin, USA
