COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM

Conservative author Marvin Olasky presents the meaning of compassionate conservatism through a "voyage of discovery." That is, he and his teenaged son travel throughout the country looking at programs aimed to help the poor, some of which are animated by compassionate conservatism and some of which are not. Jeff Riggenbach's strong, serious voice brings this work to life and presents the intent of the author well. While the book was written before the Bush presidency, these ideas are a vital part of the Bush administration. M.L.C. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
