![]() ![]() Chapter by chapter Hinckley presents 10 old-fashioned virtues that will return America to the glory envisioned by its founding fathers. Even as he enumerates all of America's social ills (including $482 billion a year spent on gambling, rampant child neglect and abuse, school massacres, a pervasive deterioration of values) Hinckley believes there is a remedy. Virtue is too often neglected, if not scorned or ridiculed as old-fashioned, confining, unenlightened," laments author Gordon Hinckley, a 90-year-old ordained leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The book includes a foreword by Mike Wallace of 60 Minutes, who has befriended President Hinckley, and has endorsements from such American leaders as Senator Joe Liberman and William Bennett. The values which President Hinckley highlights are: It is written for everyone, and is somewhat of a plea for society to return to certain core values that have been neglected and which are necessary to reverse the rising tide of broken homes, neglected children, and the increasingly uncivil tone of public discourse. It is subtitled, “10 Neglected Virtues that Will Heal our Hearts and Homes.” It is the first book President Hinckley had published by a secular (non-Mormon) publisher, and the book is geared primarily toward those who are not members of the Mormon Church. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hinckley, the former Prophet and President of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
