As a Christian and a conservative who does not always fit the mold, I found Dreher's book refreshing. While I did not agree with every point, there were many points that described my views about food, the environment, cultural influences and more. It was more of a case study than a list on concepts with which you must agree. But some major concepts did emerge: buying more stuff is not a good end goal, big business is not always good, stewardship of the earth is important, local is almost always better, culture should be more than what is popular, family is important.
