The Moral Compass 


By William Bennett

Reviewed by Monty Rainey


 

This is the companion book to Bennett's best selling The Book of Virtues. This volume is like a continuing education course for readers of the original Bennett compilation.

 

I have to say, I didn't like it quite as well as The Book of Virtues, but then, when is the sequel ever as good as the original?  Like the original, you will recognize some of the work here.  Authors such as Hans Christian Anderson, Washing Irving, Thomas Jefferson and Robert Lewis Stephenson

Like the original volume, this book should be required reading in every High School in America and belongs in everyone's home library.
