    			<br/>
    			



          
    			  An important topic, to be sure, but the actual writing style in this one was a little high-brow.  O'Reilly spells out the forces at work in our culture today that are attacking traditional values.  I had hoped to find a little more advice on what to actually do about it. Overall, a good primer on the secular progressive movement.

    			  Read this a few years ago when it was recommended to me as a marriage-building book, even though I never contemplated divorce.  Excellent book for all married couples, especially those who are struggling.  If you know anyone thinking about divorce, tell them to read this book first.  Divorce is not the answer and this book will show you why.  My marriage is much better for having read this book.

    			  This book is very accessible and does a great job of explaining the beauty in Catholicism.  It also teaches simple ways to enhance your spiritual journey on a daily basis and how to find your purpose in life.  Very refreshing.

    			  You can never go wrong with Dr. Laura.  She tells it like it is, whether or not people want to hear it.  A great discussion on what women used to be taught on how to keep your marriage sailing smoothly.

    			  I just discovered Dave Ramsey on talk radio.  This book is an absolute MUST READ for anyone who wants to really know how to keep their finances in order and to get out of and stay out of debt.  Fantastic book!
