More Living Proof

As a young kid I would read these books for fun and enjoyed them. Like the previous reviewer, my father used these books for discipline as well - with a twist. If I lied I didn't have to read the book (I would have enjoyed that) - I had to write it. Believe me, that corrected any behavioral issues quite quickly. It often took a couple of days to hand copy these books and was quite an effective punishment. I feel that I learned my lessons quite well and that these books strengthened my moral fiber. Now, tonight, twenty years later - my own son gets to write his own copy of Truth and Trust for the first time. Here's to hoping that it only takes one time.

living proof: 20 years later.

When I was little my Dad made me read these books and he used them for discipline as well. If I lied, I had to read "The Value of Truth and Trust". If I thought the grass was greener on the other side, I had to read the one about Helen Keller. Here I am, 20 years later and I found myself searching for them online, because they've helped me tremendously. I consider myself to be a very honest and grateful person now and these books were the core.

Not as bad as the previous review

Although I would have liked to have seen some different "language" in this book, it is not a bad book for kids. The word "pretend" is used as a description of an action of a small boy and was not intended to insult; however, that one word is not really appropriate when discussing anyone's religion. If you can get over that one word, give the book a chance. Kids will like this book.
