This rerelease of the popular original edition continues to speak to parents in a society where "family values" no longer seem to exist. If anything, today''s community standards threaten the family. Airwaves and movie theaters are drenched with obscenities; perversion is glorified; divorce is cheap and easy; "safe sex" is promoted instead of abstinence; parental authority is undermined; sex roles are confused. For children, such cultural chaos is crippling. But in Real Family Values, parents will learn how to sort through today''s moral confusion, remove it from their homes, and change the world by zeroing in on the part they love most: their families.
