(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-276) and index.

America is involved in a second civil war. On one side are those who defend family, faith and traditional values. On the other side are those who aggressively reject any hint of tradition or religion and want a society based on secular values. James Dobson and Gary Bauer say that both value systems cannot co-exist....one will prevail. And the one that survives will control the hearts and minds of America's children. The younger generation is already suffering. Drugs, value-free education, youth suicide, crime, homosexuality...all are taking a terrible toll. Many Americans know their kids are hurting, but they may not comprehend what has gone wrong. In Children at Risk America's Family Advocate Teams up with the president of the Family Research Council to give parents, grandparents, teachers and concerned citizens a handle with which to grasp the many facets of this great conflict. Dobson and Bauer pinpoint the various battlefields - classrooms, television, the popular culture, church, the family - and show how our children are impacted by what is experienced in these areas. Forceful and impassioned, Children at Risk provides invaluable ideas and suggestions for parents who want to counter these negative influences on their children. Here's what families can and must do to preserve and enrich the traditions and morals on which society stands. Because to the victor goes a priceless treasure: the hearts and minds of our kids.
