19. Back to Virtue by Peter Kreeft:
Good book. I should reread this again now-but probably will move ahead with my list and revisit at a later time. Traditional Moral Wisdom for Modern Moral Confusion is the subtitle. This book talks about the Seven Deadly Sins and their antidote from the Beatitudes.
I particularly liked the quote from Peter Kreeft, "The world will be won when Yeats' lines become no longer true: The best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity." A great call for Christians to stop being lukewarm - neither hot nor cold. He quotes well-known philosophers and great saints as well as the bible throughout the book. Many jewels in this book to be discovered or rediscovered.
