Review # 1 was written on 2010-08-17 00:00:00 Sarah Robinson I found this book surprisingly insiteful. At first I didn't know if it would be relavent to me or not since it is a collection of blogs aimed at rising attorneys. It focus' on triangulating all situations in life based on Blackstonian Orthodoxy. It had some very interesting points about abortion, homosexuality, evolution and the like from a point of view of law and ultimately God's law. The blogs seem to all be written some time during 2005 and into 2006. I recommend this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-10-19 00:00:00 MDW Enterprises This book can be used as a devotional for all godly Christians interested in culture building. He makes the audacious claim that we can build a culture that is filled with goodness,truth, and beauty. I agree under the following conditions: "with God all things are possible". The book is roughly divided into discourses on the three robes of culture: The Academy, the Judiciary, and the Clergy. The academy pronounces what is true (hard to do in the present environment of government schools dominated by moral relativism). The judiciary applies those norms to certain situations ( also near impossible in today's positive law atmosphere). And finally the Clergy (the church)provides the moral condemnation or abrobation ( this is also an ideal considering the present divisions). Ventrella is the Senior Vice president for the Alliance Defense Fund, an attorney educated at Hastings School of Law, the same school that many on the California Supreme court hail from.
