    Summary:

    Subtitled "10 Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes," this inspirational book urges us to rediscover the values that have historically made us strong: love, honesty, morality, civility, learning, forgiveness and mercy, thrift and industry, gratitude, optimism, and faith.

    Contents:
    • Love: the lodestar of life
    • Where there is honesty, other virtues will follow
    • Making a case for morality
    • Our fading civility
    • Learning: "with all thy getting get understanding"
    • The twin virtues of forgiveness and mercy
    • Thrift and industry: getting our houses in order
    • Gratitude: a sign of maturity
    • Optimism in the face of cynicism
    • Faith: our only hope
    • Marriage: what God hath joined together
    • The family: we can save our nation by saving our homes
    • Epilogue: the loneliness of moral leadership.
