What he and they said on such themes as "Zen, a Way of Living Life Directly," "Prophetic Choices," and "The Feminine Mystique," is the text of this book.

Author Mike Huckabee writes, "A person who has no standard to live by other than the culture of the moment is a person whose principles might as well come from the latest public opinion polls."
