Moral Revolution

Moral Revolution seeks to inspire a culture of love, honor, and respect with people who walk in purity, passion, and power. This intimate and honest audiobook addresses the root causes of purity issues rather than merely communicating to the masses to "abstain from having sex".

Franklin discusses what he believes to be key virtues one must possess to be happy, successful, and productive in life, and illustrates these virtues, such a patience and circumspection, within the context of the game of chess.
