Building Character in the Family
The Most Important Thing Your Community Can Do
Local businesses and Character Cities can work together to build strong families by sponsoring and distributing copies of Achieving True Success: How to Build Character as a Family for local residents. This beautifully illustrated, 71-page, hardbound book is designed to introduce the concept of character development to the average family and equip them to begin building character as a family."My young children have loved learning about the character qualities in this book. They get
excited about cleaning their rooms like orderly chipmunks—and I don't even have to tell them to! Their
eagerness to do good is especially helpful to me as a single mom."
Christi Johnson,
ACE Coordinator, University Health Care System
"Of all the materials and resources becoming available on character these days, Achieving True
Success jumps out for its excellent format, the conciseness of the writing, and the depth of the content."
Russell B. Pulliam, Associate Editor, Indianapolis Star
The Character Family idea should not become an added burden. It focuses on developing positive character and thereby achieving true success! Practical ideas and projects provide motivation for fulfilling responsibilities in the home and serving in the community. Each character quality is defined, illustrated, and applied to daily living.
Character City leaders can most effectively recommend this program to the community when they have experiened its benefits in their own families. The Character Family is the core of the Character City. It is at the family level that any lasting, positive societal change will occur.
When the family wins, the community wins!
