Timeless Teachers
Prophetic Wisdom Every Family Can Use
by A. Rahim Sheher-Mulk · 150 pages
Twenty virtues the prophets taught, written so a parent and a child can sit down and read them together.
Patience. Honesty. Courage. Gratitude. Mercy. These are not the property of one faith or one people — they are what every family everywhere is trying to teach. This book gathers what the prophets said about each one and sets it down plainly, without assuming the reader shares any particular belief.
Each virtue has two parts: a short guide written for the parent, and a story written for the child. Read them in order or open at whichever one your household needs this week.
