Help your children develop moral character with this updated, 30th
anniversary edition of the perennial classic The Book of Virtues.
Almost 3 million copies of the Book of Virtues have been sold since
it was published in 1993. It is one of the most popular moral
primers ever written, an inspiring anthology that helps children
understand and develop character--and helps parents teach it to
them. Thirty years ago, readers thought that the times were right
for a book about moral literacy. Back then, Americans worried that
schools were no longer parents' allies in teaching good character.
As the book's original introduction noted, "moral anchors and
moorings have never been more necessary." If that was true in the
1990s, it is even more true today. The explosion of information
with the Internet has left many unsure of what is valuable and what
is not. Responsibility. Courage. Compassion. Loyalty. Honesty.
Friendship. Persistence. Hard work. Self-discipline. Faith. These
remain the essentials of good character. The Book of Virtues
contains hundreds of exemplary stories offering children examples
of good and bad, right and wrong. Drawing on the Bible, American
history, Greek mythology, English poetry, fairy tales, and modern
fiction, William J. and Elayne Bennett show children the many
virtuous paths they can follow--and the ones they ought to avoid.
For the 30th anniversary edition, the Bennetts have slimmed down
the book's contents, while also finding room to introduce such
figures as Mother Teresa, Colin Powell, and heroes of 9/11 and the
War in Afghanistan. Here is a rich mine of moral literacy to teach
a new generation of children about American culture, history, and
traditions--ultimately, the ideals by which we wish to live our
lives. The updated edition of The Book of Virtues will continue a
legacy of raising moral children far into a new century.
