Responsibility. Courage. Compassion. Loyalty. Honesty. Friendship. Persistence. Hard Work. Self Discipline. Faith. Everyone recognizes these traits as essentials of good character. In order for our children to develop such traits, we have to offer them examples of good and bad, right and wrong. And the best place to find them is in the great works of literature and in exemplary stories from history. In this special audio presentation of The Book Of Virtues, William J. Bennett presents a selection from his best-selling anthology of stories that has inspired and instructed readers of all ages from coast to coast. From the Bible to fables to Greek myths, from ancient philosophy to American history to unforgettable words of our nation's leaders, here are the timeless works that will help children understand and develop character--and help adults teach them. A rich mine of moral literacy and reliable moral reference points, these stories will help anchor our children and ourselves in our culture, our history and our tradition--presented in a unique audio program that the whole family can enjoy, and learn from, together.
William J. Bennett served as Director of the office of National Drug Control Policy under President Bush, and as Secretary of Education and Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities under President Reagan. He holds a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy from Williams College, a doctorate in political philosophy from the University of Texas, and a law degree from Harvard. Dr. Bennett is currently a co-director of Empower America, a Distinguished Fellow in Cultural Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, and a senior editor of National Review magazine. He, his wife, and their two sons live in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
