Description: An all-star team of eighteen conservative writers offers a hilarious, insightful, sanctimony-free remix of William Bennett's The Book of Virtues--without parental controls. The Seven Deadly Virtues sits down next to readers at the bar, buys them a drink, and an hour or three later, ushers them into the revival tent without them even realizing it.

Review Quotes: "[I]nteresting and thought provoking ... endearing enough to make the reader charitably inclined." --Wall Street Journal (11/05/2014)

"The Seven Deadly Virtues is 202 readable pages written by a witty group of 18 peculiar moralists, and it deserves similar success. You just know that you are in for a treat when a book on the subject of virtue starts with P.J. O'Rourke and ends with Chris Buckley. In between them, you'll discover the architects of a new conservative cool that shows that is possible to be moral without being moralistic and authoritative without being authoritarian." --The Washington Times (11/05/2014)
