Más información sobre el libro

Bestselling author William Bennett tackles the pressing issue of family decline in contemporary society, a topic as provocative as his earlier work. Despite recent economic prosperity, the American family faces unprecedented challenges, including rising rates of illegitimacy, divorce, and single parenthood, alongside debates over the recognition of gay marriages. In this compelling work, Bennett, a prominent conservative voice on family values, offers a robust defense of the traditional family structure. He draws on history, anthropology, law, social science, and Western religious teachings to argue that the marriage between a man and a woman, fostering a stable and loving environment for children, is a significant historical achievement deserving of preservation against more "progressive" alternatives. Through balanced discussions on single parenthood, cohabitation, and gay marriage, Bennett demonstrates his fearless conviction and respect for differing views. He addresses the deep concerns that divide America, ultimately providing a powerful affirmation of family life and its essential role in benefiting individuals and society at large.
