This week, Top 10 Tuesday, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is focused on character traits. One of the things I love about Christian fiction is the way authors grow their characters. It is wonderful to see how new perceptions of themselves and God impact their traits, both negative and positive. Introverted characters learn to step out in faith, independent characters learn to rely on God and others, those locked in shame by past mistakes are set free — all great examples of God’s grace and mercy. The characters and their traits that I have shared below are certainly not exhaustive. I’d love to hear your favorites.
