Letters to My Sons: A Humane Vision for Human Relationships, Paperback/M. G. Bianco

Descriere

Description In Letters to My Sons, M. G. Bianco writes real letters to his real sons on a variety of topics. While it may seem to be a book on parenting, fatherhood, sons, and the birds and the bees, it is really a book on what it means to be human and on the nature of human relationships. It is a book from which everyone, man or woman, can get something. Relationships, rather than esteeming others in their full humanity, are often reduced to mechanical and consumer-based interactions where both parties are dehumanized. We even look at others as if they are nothing more than an object to be used or desired. This dehumanizes both the looker and the looked upon. Furthermore, we excuse our actions by our faulty views of love, hate, and the rituals that define our relationships. In offering a humane vision for human relationships, M. G. Bianco offers wisdom to make all of us more human in our relationships. He does so through letters that can also serve as models for fathers and other men, women, and parents to imitate in their own interactions with their others. About the author M. G. Bianco is married to his altogether lovely high school sweetheart, Patty. They have three kids they have homeschooled together. Formerly, the Academic Director for Classical Conversations, he now serves as the Director of The Lost Tools of Writing for the Ci RCE Institute. Is he a modern day C. S. Lewis? No. But he really enjoys reading him.
