A fascinating insight into the meaning and purpose of family,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Value of Family: A Blueprint for the 21st Century (Hardcover)
Dr. Ruth has written a wonderful book about the American family. As she herself states, the very definition of family is a difficult one -- but she wonderfully elucidates the stresses, strains and successes of the modern american family.
One can almost hear the little "tee-hee" in her voice as she uses her own life story to buttress her position that government, business and the family members themselves need to put family first -- for to do so enhances each of the aforementioned areas.
I especially enjoyed her excursions into Judaism and Jewish values, which offer the world a sorely needed moral foundation by which to live.
I only wished that her recommendations for further reading (and net-surfing) had been placed at the end of each chapter. I found their placement in the middle of chapters rather jarring.
All in all, I think that this is a marvelous book for parents to read. Share it with someone you love.
