Rush Limbaugh explains why he gives thisrnextraordinary anthology by Reagan Cabinetrnmember William Bennett his unqualifiedrnendorsement:rn”The Book of Virtues is built on an oldrnphilosophical principle nearly forgotten inrnthe public disoission (and in certain recentrnpresidential campaigns), but it is an idea Irnhave long championed: Character matters.rnWhat a concept! But beware — somernof the lessons in this book are rooted inrnreligion, which means the anthology willrnbe ruled unconstitutional if carried into anrnAmerican school.rnIt belongs, however, in every home. ThernBook of Virtues is a superb collection,rncertain to fortify you and yours for a lifetimernof morality, goodness, and rightrnthinking.”rnMr. Bennett groups the selections accordingrnto the ten virtues or good habits they aim torninstill:rnSelf-Discipline * Compassionrn* Responsibility • Friendshiprn* Work • Courage * Perseverancern* Honesty * Loyalty • FaithrnEach section carries its own introductoryrnessay, and the selections have explanatoiyrnnotes where necessary.
