The Book of Man

I’ve read several of William Bennett’s books and have several of them as a part of my personal library including, “The Book of Virtues” and “The Moral Compass”. So when I saw his new book “The Book of Man” I jumped at the chance to read and review it.

As in his previous books, he stories, letters, poems, etc. to illustrate and bring the life the themes of the book. It’s challenging and motivating. I have greatly enjoyed it and am now passing it on to my brother so he can read it as well.

The book is broken down into topics sections including:

Man in War
Man at Work
Man in Play, Competition, and Leisure
Man in the Polis
Man wth Woman and Children
Man in Prayer and Reflection

The stories are well written and presented. I like the way that each story stands on its own and is short and easy to read. I like to read books like this a little at a time and take time to think and reflect on what I just read.

Personally, I feel the world of today is so lacking in the way of values and this is one of the main reasons I like Mr. Bennett’s books, as it brings back a touch of the way things used to be, with a stronger sense of morels. I can see how this book may not be appealing to all in that way, but it is something so needed.
It’s very nicely presented and makes a great gift book.
