Just today I received a copy of my Touchstone editorial colleague Anthony Esolen’s newest book, Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child (ISI). I’ve only skimmed through it, mind you, but even that quick a glance has prompted several “Amens” from this Baptist.
In the book, Tony deals with issues ranging from letting children be outside to giving them unsupervised time to think and play. From the title of a chapter I haven’t flipped through yet (on the shallow and the banal), I’m quite sure he deals with the question of…shiver…video games.
This is a great book to give as a gift to parents or grandparents in your life, or as a wedding present for a young couple just starting out. I look forward to sitting down and reading it carefully.
Get a copy today. Don’t wait for the movie. Or the video game.
Thanks Dr. Moore. I love just about anything you and Anthony Esolen write for Touchstone and therefore, based on your recommendation, I have ordered two copies of this book for each of my married daughters.
I’ve been looking forward to this book since it was first announced earlier this year, and ordered my copy yesterday.
I look forward to reading this. If there is to be no movie or video game, could we at least have an app? ;-)
I’m hoping he was able to articulate what it is about video games that just doesn’t feel quite right to me
As soon as there’s a Kindle version, I’ll buy it. :)
I have received my copies and the chapter titles are so good that I won’t even wait for Christmas to give the books to each of my daughters.
