There are some great free printables from the blog, Let's Get Together, that tie in with this lesson. The author links to talks and activities that help supplement teaching about Christ's attributes and would make a great resource for a course of extended study or for family home evenings.

I cam across a gold mind of letters, some of which I would like to publish on occasion here. The author of the following letter is Louise Richards Ward Carson, ...
