Overall this book was very informative and interesting as Gov. Romney lays out his view of America, how he sees our place in the world and his vision for our future.

He is very clear in laying out his concerns for American foreign affairs. I found his discussion of radical Islam very helpful as he laid out the difference between an Islamist and a Jihadist. His view of our relationship with China and Russia was also clear and interesting.

The chapter on Energy Independence was thought provoking asking the reader/listener to consider which is more of a threat - a nuclear power accident or depending upon and sending all our wealth to countries that hate our way of life? Hmmmmmmmmm

The audio edition read by the author was great for giving one a sense of Gov. Romney's sincerity, enthusiasm and commitment to his principles.

The second half was interesting but not as clear or concise as the first. Topics
like our educational system, deficit, health care, entitlements etc are complicated and these chapters while informative tended to be duller than the first half dealing with his larger view and vision for our future.

Overall a good read for this Election year and learning more about the man who may be the next President of the United States.

This book IS truly life changing. It is thought provoking, practical and helpful. I especially liked that Joyce took the time to include several lists of confessions, declarations and convictions to help me use and recall the lessons. I am grateful indeed for the useful guidance. Thank you Joyce !
