A practical blueprint for reforming one's life, family, and culture. A sample of Senior's wisdom:

"First, negatively, smash the television set. The Catholic Church is not opposed to violence; only to unjust violence; so smash the television set. And, positively, put the time and money you now spend on such entertainment into a piano so that music is restored to your home, common, ordinary Christian music, much of which is very simple to play."

...everything you need to know about restoring integrity and substance to bland, decadent post modern existence. John Senior's two books "The Death of..." and "The Resurrection of Christian Culture" might be summed up as "Peter Kreeft on steroids." By which I take nothing from the good Dr. Kreeft, but with Senior you get the medicine with very little sugar to help it down. Fierce, unapologetic Catholic thought, written in a style that feels very much like it might have come from the 1890 - 1930 period, but it was in fact written in the 60's and 70's, and is very current and cogent. Hard to find but very worth it, highly recommended, essential reading for those who think that there is something missing in modern culture. If you like Chesterton, get this while you can find a copy. Get two copies, and give one to a very good friend.

Awesome book, this is. Regarding the price-gouging going on, for those of you looking to purchase this at a normal price, go online to ProMultis. They have it at its regular retail price!

ProMultis still showing it for $19.95 on their website, but he is charging much more for a like-new copy now.... Anyone know another place to get this?

Get this book and it's precursor, The Death of Christian Culture. Dr. Senior outlines the path we took in reaching our current low point and what needs to happen to begin our ascent again as a Christian society. Now available new from IHS Press.
