If you are a kid, discreetly clip this column before your grown-up gets to it. I've got a plan. The book does not have any agenda of dogma or faith. You and your parents can be Christian, Jewish, Baha'i, Islamic, Buddhist or simply spiritual to get what this book has to offer, which is the wisdom of morality. The author, Linda Kavelin Popov, describes family virtues as the silver thread that runs through all of humanity.
Virtues are qualities of the soul.
Here's how the book works. First, there is a quote drawn from one of the world's many religions, such as the next quote from a sacred Hindu text. Generosity is giving and sharing. Generosity is a quality of the spirit. It is an awareness that there is plenty for everyone.
