About this audiobook
It's not your imagination: civilized human society is collapsing. Communities no longer work towards a common good; children are no longer our first priority; businesses no longer value "hard work"; arts and skills have been lost; and gender is decided by the individual, not biology. We cannot reverse national and global trends, says professor Anthony Esolen; but we can build communities that live up to humanity's promise and responsibility. In Out of the Ashes, Esolen identifies the gaping problems in our society and lays out a blueprint for reconstruction that puts our future in the hands of individuals focused on the good of the local community.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Esolen is one of the greatest thinkers of the modern generation. Incredible book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This work was a breath of fresh air, so many of the feeling I have experienced were put into words. Out of the Ashes also pointed out many concepts that hadn't crossed my mind before, but resonated with my beliefs and aided in my walk with truth. I differ from the author in that I have a protestant background, but the difference did not hamper any of the theological themes or the plain wisdom of the book, it did however add a value for history and beauty in creating that I found encouraging and that I seldom see from protestant authors.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An accurate assessment of American culture as it was, as it is, and as it could be again.
