Bennett, William J.
Moral Compass : Stories for a Life's Journey / William J. Bennett.
Simon & Schuster, 1995. 832 p.
Believing that learning to be virtuous is a lifelong journey, Bennett has provided a kind of moral travel guide and map through each territory (childhood, adolescence, adulthood) along the way. Selections range from Eudora Welty's touching story "A Worn Path" (childhood) to the Cinderella-like East European folk tale "The Twelve Months" (adolescence) to the overwrought tale of Monica, the mother of St. Augustine (adulthood). Henry L. Carrigan Jr. (Library Journal)
