More Information
What is boldness? How does someone show initiative? What does it mean to be wise, tolerant, or sensitive? When it comes to understanding and developing character traits, biographical stories are a powerful tool.
Powerful not only because they so effectively illustrate virtues but also because your young reader doesn't feel preached at. The 10 stories in Profiles of Integrity Vol. 2 are engrossing!
- Instead of being told, "You should be truthful," they will read about Sacagawea who accurately translated and reported facts during the Corps of Discovery expedition, even leading them through the Rocky Mountains on their return journey.
- Instead of hearing that gentleness is an attractive virtue, they get consumed with the story of President Abraham Lincoln who showed compassion to a young, dying Confederate soldier, comforting him and praying with him despite their opposing sides.
- Instead of being admonished to be more orderly, they see how Colonel Charles Marshall's meticulous record-keeping ensured that the surrender terms at Appomattox Court House were accurately drafted, playing a vital role in officially ending the Civil War.
Packed with adventure, danger, and real historical drama, these books keep your students turning pages as they devour tales of daring raids, clever ingenuity, sacrificial love, and harrowing battles.
Ten Key Virtues
In ten biographical sketches, see how a figure from American or British history demonstrates a key virtue.
- Boldness ~ Captain John S. Mosby
- Gentleness ~ President Abraham Lincoln
- Initiative ~ Colonel John Hunt Morgan
- Orderliness ~ Colonel Charles Marshall
- Respectfulness ~ Francis Scott Key
- Sensitivity ~ General Robert E. Lee
- Tolerance ~ William Booth
- Truthfulness ~ Sacagawea
- Virtue ~ Queen Victoria
- Wisdom ~ Matthew Fontaine Maury
Relatable Emotions & Challenges
Each sketch puts readers in the shoes of people or those facing tough situations — death, hostility, natural threats, and breakthroughs. Kids see themselves in these moments, not just as passive learners but as participants in the story.
Unexpected Heroes
Not all the heroes are famous or powerful. Some are teens, outsiders, or people who overcame huge obstacles. This makes the stories feel accessible and inspiring to kids who might not see themselves as perfect role models.
Interactive Questions
Each chapter ends with questions that invite readers to imagine themselves in the story, reflect on choices, and think about what they’d do. This reflection turns reading into a personal adventure, not just a history lesson.
Book Format
While the stories are ordered chronologically, each chapter can stand alone if desired. Each biographical sketch will take approximately 30 minutes to read aloud.
Each chapter is introduced with a definition of the virtue demonstrated and a relevant Bible memory verse. At the close of each story, comprehension questions help check for understanding while application questions foster discussion to bring the virtues into modern life.
Read this volume and the entire four-book series to fall in love with history, find heroes to emulate, and develop godly character.

Customer Reviews
This volume goes deeper into fascinating moments from westward expansion, the Civil War era, and beyond, and the narration helped those historical events feel vivid and real. The character traits—like boldness, gentleness, and wisdom—came through clearly in each story and gave my kids a lot to think about.
We used it both as a history supplement and a character study, just like the book, and it worked beautifully in both roles. The audio format made it very accessible, and it consistently held my kids’ attention from start to finish.
It covers the years 1804 to 1865 through ten short stories, highlighting figures like Sacagawea, President Abraham Lincoln, William Booth, and others from the time during the westward expansion, the War of 1812, the American Civil War era, and the Victorian Era of England. What I like most is the focus on character. Each story begins by defining the specific character trait and includes a related memory verse, which gives it a clear purpose beyond just telling history. It is definitely geared more toward the middle school age level and up.
The narration is very straightforward. It feels more like someone just reading to you versus a personal story-driven performance. It may not pull you emotionally, but it keeps things clear and easy to follow. The narrator’s voice was very easy to understand. I did notice some mispronunciations in this volume.
At the end of each story, there are questions included in the audio, which helps with reflection and makes it more than just passive listening. Be ready to hit pause quickly to discuss each question with your kids!
Overall, it is a meaningful and easy way to add both history and character study with a biblical perspective into your routine, especially if you enjoy audiobooks and want something simple to use.
As a parent, I appreciate that I can give her clean, character-building books to read (or listen to, in this case). I love that these are available as audio books, as they provide an option for listening while being creative. The definition of each trait, as well as a scripture reference are included at the beginning of each section, which I think is a worthy addition. The questions on each section are great to ensure comprehension of the material.
I recommend this series as a compliment to World’s Story. It reinforces that the stories of individual people are important in history.
This series is aimed at older students and some of the volumes may be too intense for younger students. This particular volume seems a bit less intense overall with the exception of one or two stories that include accounts of men wounded in battle.
The audio version of this is convenient for listening to and discussing together around the dinner table or on the go. I do wish that the narrator was more engaging.
