<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Blunt and prophetic, [the author] makes the case that the decay of Western civilization is alarmingly advanced. Our sickly, sub-pagan state resembles a bombed-out city. We have to assess the damage, but merely lamenting it does no good. There is work to be done."--Jacket flap.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>"Out of the Ashes is a full-throated, stout-hearted call to arms--soul-stirring, uncompromising, and irresistible." </i>--ROD DREHER, author of The Benedict Option <p/> <i>"Out of the Ashes is an astonishing combination of energy, humor, insight, and exceptional erudition, topped off by a vivid personal style and a special gift for tweaking the </i><i>nose of secularist nonsense-peddlers. If you're looking for a guide to our current cultural predicament (and how to fix it), one that's sobering and invigorating at the same time, start with this book."</i> --CHARLES J. CHAPUT, O.F.M. Cap., Archbishop of Philadelphia <p/> <i>"Anthony Esolen is one of our nation's best writers because he's one of our best thinkers. Out of the Ashes is vintage Esolen: eloquent, bold, insightful, profound." </i>-- RYAN T. ANDERSON, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow, The Heritage Foundation, and author of <i>Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and ReligiousFreedom</i></b> <p/> <p/><i><b>What do you do when an entire civilization is crumbling around you? </b></i> <p/>You do everything. This is a book about how to get started. <p/>The Left's culture war threatens America's foundation and its very civilization, warns Esolen in his brand new book, <b><i>Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture</i></b>. They will tell you that babies in the womb are fetuses, that gender is a social construct, and that the backbone of society is government not the community. <p/>In<b> <i>Out of the Ashes</i>, </b>Esolen outlines his surprisingly simple plan to take back American culture-- start at home. Esolen urges us to demand a return to values in our homes, our schools, our churches, and our communities, and to reject political correctness. <p/><i><b> "We must become tellers of truth again--and people who are willing to hear truths, especially when it hurts to hear them."</b></i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Let me strongly encourage readers to buy, read, and thoroughly absorb two important new books: Rod Dreher's The Benedict Option and Anthony Esolen's Out of the Ashes. Dreher (Orthodox) is an articulate, provocative, and insightful social commentator. Esolen (Catholic) is a distinguished scholar and educator whose English translation of Dante Alighieri's majestic Divine Comedy ranks among the finest available anywhere. <br /><br /> Neither man's book disappoints in the power of its arguments. Both men have the gift of combining erudition with common sense, and of making their ideas available and engaging to the harried ordinary reader. Both books offer a tough, frank, and true assessment of contemporary American culture. Both also share an adult Christian grasp of the virtue of hope and a deep trust in the goodness of God. Each offers practical steps forward in sustaining and rebuilding Christian life in confused times." --<b>First Things Magazine</b> <br /><br /> "Out of the Ashes is a full-throated, stout-hearted call to arms--soul-stirring, uncompromising, and irresistible." --<b>ROD DREHER, author of The Benedict Option</b><br /><br /> "Reading Anthony Esolen is a bit like a ride on your favorite roller coaster.
