I've never written a book review before but since I just read Chivalry-Now by Dean Jacques I'll try to relate what I just read:
Chivalry-Now is an expounding of the principles of Chivalry as stated in the 12 Trusts. (which see). Each of the Trusts are facets of the heart of a knight and each aspect is thoroughly explained and made fully understandable. It is by internalizing these 12 Trusts in our lives that men and women will attain to full maturity of authentic adulthood. And it is by internalizing these Trust that we make them our own.
The author suggests, and I agree, that the challenge we face is nothing less than the transformation of our sick society by the transformation of one person at a time. And the reader is urged to be a part of the solution by living their lives according to the Chivalric Ideals.
By living our lives according to these ideals we attain the authenticity of true manhood we have sought in our lives.
I recommend this book to all who would aspire to True Manhood and the Chivalric Way of Knighthood.
