This might be my favorite nonfiction book of the year. Cultural apologist, Nancy Pearcey, provides deeply comprehensive, but readable arguments against theories liberal culture is promoting. She dissects the evolutionary-based dualistic beliefs that allow people to think abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, transgenderism and the hook-up culture are acceptable and even important. This would be a good resource for engaging with someone on any of these topics.

Pearcey clarifies many things about the moral chaos of our current generation. The fact is, behind a facade of liberation, rights and acceptance, lies a world of dehumanization and degradation of the human body. A low view of the body destroys healthy human bonds. Natural social constructs, such as home and family, give way to purely feeling-based connections. The author uncannily compares our cultural situation to the debauchery of ancient Rome. I appreciated the biblical solution she offered in closing. Highly recommended.
