Thanks for the reply.
What I am trying to do is find a book for each Christian character and then just do the Godly Character Traits sections in DITHOR,
would you suggest any particular books that may fight one trait that is listed by Carrie?
Kind Regards

The Little Pilgrim's Progress and Sir Malcom and the Missing Prince I would say both cover all of the character traits that you listed above. The character traits you listed is what made me think of them. Giant Killer, that I believe Carrie does not use, would be another good one for 5th - 8th grade. It goes through each chapter addressing a specific character trait such as overcoming pride, selfishness, and slothfulness and replacing them with Faith, Integrity, Joy, Obedience, Loyalty, Responsibility, and Virtue. I think Pilgrim's Progress does the same thing in its story line.
It sounds though like you are looking for a book that only deals with one trait at one time and then a second book that deals with the second trait. Correct? I cannot think of any off hand that deal with only a single character trait for the entire book. I find that many Christian books deal with multiple Christian character traits throughout the story. Pilgrim's Progress though and Giant Killer are stories that are directly involved in a character overcoming or being challenged or tested by specific character traits that are evil and having them overcome those traits with Obedience and Faith in the Lord and Fear of the Lord and the Godly traits of Christianity.
Hopefully someone can think of an individual book for each trait for you.
