Fully booked for life


I've stumbled on more news and materials concerning the fight against society's most serious social and moral problems (pornography and the dwindling respect for unborn life, in particular), but I noticed that the last few posts I've placed here revolve around those and related issues. I'm starting to feel the weight of it all -- which normally happens when issues like pornography and abortion "stare me in the face." Decadence, after all, does not uplift.

So, instead of going into details about the materials I came across, here are some resources that I think would be most helpful. There's so much garbage going around in bookstores and newsstands, we might as well spend on reads that will equip us with what we need to help ourselves and our loved ones be better citizens of the world.


PORN GENERATION: How social liberalism is corrupting our future
By Ben Shapiro

Never in our country's history has a generation been so empowered, so wealthy, so privileged - and yet so empty. [The author] shows that legalized and all-pervasive porn is by no means trivial or marginal: it's an integral part of a sustained program by the forces of relativism, radical feminism, and nihilism to destroy our nation's moral foundations and replace moral standards with the idol of personal fulfillment.



SHE CALLS ME DADDY: Celebrating the love between a Father & Daughter
By Robert Wolgemuth

I so wanted to include the different reviews contributed by ordinary readers but I had to pick just one, part of which is the following:


I have three daughters and this book has provided invaluable, practical advice to help me raise them. I was one of three sons and had no clue how to relate to little girls. Robert Wolgemuth does an excellent job of teaching general concepts while also providing specific "how-to's". There is advice for fathers of young girls (mine are 7, 4 and 1) and also for fathers of teenagers (the dreaded dating years!!).


KING ME: What every son wants and needs from his father
By Steve Farrar

Using kings of the Old Testament as character studies, Steve Farrar examines the critical role a father plays in preparing his son to become a godly man. What separated the good kings from the bad kings was a father who made time commitments to mentor his son. Do you want your son to become a man of regal character?
