Virtuous Reading
Mom’s love the virtues presented in Captain LaFoote. The story offers a “clean” read void of the sex and cursing found in so many of today’s young adult novels. This is by design.
The intent of the Caribbean Chronicles series is to presents the universal virtues of WISDOM (Intellectual Strengths), HUMANITY (Emotional Strengths based on a servant’s heart), COURAGE (Situational Strengths), and RESILIENCE (Philosophical Strengths) through an entertaining story using the Tilt 360™ model of character development.
Pam Boney, the co-founder of Tilt 360™, will serve as VIRTUE COACH for those teens and young adults who wish to reach their leadership potential. Through this series, we hope to instill sound virtues in the next generation of leaders.
Each book will present one of these four leadership strengths (Wisdom, Humanity, Courage and Resilience). In The Curse of Captain LaFoote, the core strength presented is COURAGE.
The Caribbean Chronicles series will incorporate lessons on virtues using the wooden spokes of a ship’s wheel (WHEEL OF VIRTUES) as the true treasure. The four main characters presented in this series will represent the four archetypes of SEEKER (Resilience), HERO (Courage), SAGE (Wisdom) and HEALER (Humanity) on their journey to find meaning beyond materialism.
Each book will also have a field guide allowing adults/parents to follow along with their children to help reinforce the virtues presented in the book.
Companies who use the Tilt 360™ model of character development include: American Eagle Outfitters, Concord Hospitality, CB Ellis, Extended Stay Hospitality, GlaxoSmithKline, Lanxess, Medrad, Redhat, and Johnson & Johnson.
