John W. Zimmerman Sr. Bloomington, Ind.: iUniverse, 2011. 178 pp. (Paperback).
Describing the United States as “a nation gone astray,” John Zimmerman minces no words in announcing that our nation needs a return of “sound and positive values to drive decision-making, behavior and relationships.” The first quarter of the book focuses on explaining the problem as the author sees it: what is missing, concludes the author, is a sound moral and ethical filter.
Following the lengthy introduction, Zimmerman moves into an explanation of the origin of values, using his own life as an illustration. This section, like all of the others, is packed with well- researched and well-documented information.
The book culminates with a practical chapter on how others have made a difference and suggestions for the reader who is inspired by the book to get involved in putting America back on course.
