Courageous Faith Hero The person that I chose to be my hero from Courageous Faith is Joseph. Joseph was a daddy's boy who was the first son of Jacob and Rachel.

Some of my favorite memories from my childhood happened at my grandmother’s house. When my sister and I were younger our family spent nearly every weekend at Grandma’s.

Recognizing the character was easy because the author used “I” for first person
