Chivalry Book Review

17131045Title: Chivalry: The Quest for a Personal Code of Honor in an Unjust World.

Author: Zach Hunter.

Genre: Christian, Nonfiction, Modern Problems, Honor, Knights.

Plot: Zach Hunter, author of Be the Change, has a new unexpected challenge for today's generation: to live justly and honorably in an unjust world. And this book tells you how to do that. To quote the back cover: "Chivalry is alive and well - it's just not what you expected. It's not a list of rules teaching guys how to treat girls. It's a way for young men and women - all of us - to live justly in an unjust world."  With ten comprehensive chapters that cover never attacking someone from behind to practicing self-control and not fearing evil. It touches on modern concerns such as racism and  slavery, and includes a chapter on what to do when man's laws go against God's laws.

Likes/Dislikes: Written beautifully, with fictional stories to illustrate a point, this book flows well and hits several good points. It's a very deep-thinking book - one I'll have to read again. But I highly enjoyed it. It certainly wasn't what I was expecting it to be. And it was very encouraging at times, so that was good.

Rating: PG-14 and up, mainly for reading level.

Date Report Written: May 20th, 2014.

I received a copy of this book free from the publishers in exchange for an honest review. I wasn't required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed in the above review are my own.
