Old Testament Heroes: Complete Character Study Guide for Kids (Faith, Courage & Obedience Lessons)

Help Your Child Grow in Faith Through the Heroes of the Old Testament!

Want your kids to develop courage like David?

Obedience like Noah?

Faith like Daniel?

Boldness like Esther?

The best way to teach godly character isn't through lectures.

It's through HEROES they can look up to.

When kids study the lives of Biblical heroes—the choices they made, the faith they showed, the courage they demonstrated—something powerful happens:

They want to BE like those heroes.

Not because you told them to.

Because they're inspired.

That's The Power Of Character Studies

This Old Testament Heroes Character Study Guide brings well-known Bible heroes to life with lessons that teach:

✅ Courage - Like David facing Goliath

✅ Obedience - Like Noah building the ark

✅ Trust - Like Abraham following God's call

✅ Faith - Like Daniel in the lion's den

✅ Boldness - Like Esther risking her life for her people

✅ Forgiveness - Like Joseph with his brothers

✅ Faithfulness - Like Ruth staying loyal

And more!

Why Character Studies Work:

Telling kids "be brave" doesn't work.

But showing them David—a young shepherd who faced a giant with just a sling and faith—THAT works.

Because kids think: "If David could be brave, maybe I can too."

Telling kids "obey even when it's hard" doesn't work.

But showing them Noah—who built an ark for 120 years while everyone mocked him—THAT works.

Because kids think: "If Noah could obey when it was that hard, I can obey my parents."

Heroes create aspiration.

Aspiration creates action.

Action creates character.
