God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy

De: Mike Huckabee

Narrado por: Mike Huckabee

In God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy, Mike Huckabee asks, "Have I been taken to a different planet than the one on which I grew up?" The New York Times bestselling author explores today's fractious American culture, where divisions of class, race, politics, religion, gender, age, and other fault lines make polite conversation dicey, if not downright dangerous. As Huckabee notes, the differences of opinion between the "Bubble-villes" of the big power centers and the "Bubba-villes" where most people live are profound, provocative, and sometimes pretty funny. Where else but in Washington, D.C. could two presidential golf outings cost the American taxpayers $2.9 million in travel expenses?

Government bailouts, politician pig-outs, and popular culture provocations from Jay-Z and Beyoncé to Honey Boo-Boo to the Duck Dynasty's Robertson family. Gun rights, gay marriage, the decline of patriotism, and the mainstream media's contempt for those who cherish a faith-based life. The trouble with Democrats, the even bigger trouble with Republicans, our national security complex, and how our Constitution is eroding under our noses. Stories of everyday Americans surviving tough times, reflections on our way of life as it once was, as it is, and as it might become…these subjects and many more are covered with Mike Huckabee's signature wit, insight, and honesty.

At times lighthearted, at others bracingly realistic, Huckabee's brand of optimistic patriotism highlights American ideals, offering a bright outlook for future generations.

With a wry eye for the ridiculous and a clear-eyed look at the most controversial issues of our time, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy is Mike Huckabee at his very best.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Anyone who has enjoyed any of the previous books by Huckabee--former governor, one-time presidential candidate, and Fox News host--will be more than satisfied with this examination of the differences between 'Bubbleville' (New York, L.A., and D.C.) and 'Bubbaville' (the rest of America)...Huckabee's leavens his musings on the state of the union with a sense of humor ('I prefer boots over Birkenstocks. Does that make me weird?') that makes him enjoyable to read.” —<i>Publishers Weekly</i>

Great book

If you could sum up God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy in three words, what would they be?

Talk about good old common sense . He's got it . lead on Mike we need you.

Excellent!

This book expresses the deep-rooted thoughts and feelings of conservative, hard-working middle class folks who are too often silenced. The delivery is straightforward, honest and comical at times. I recommend this book to anyone who is truly concerned about the direction our country is taking. Get ready for an entertaining recap of our history and our future possibilities!

Worth a Listen

Worth every minute. This guy knows what he's talking about. He may have just convinced me vote for him for president and I am NOT from the South.

Great book, great narration

This book gives you a great insight into the brain of Mike Huckabee. It was refreshing to know someone in politics has common sense and sticks to his beliefs, instead of selling out to the highest bidder.

Huckabee tells it like it is!

Mike Huckabee has keen insight into what makes the average American tick. Chapter after chapter he hits the nail on the head with subject after subject!

Nice Man, Agree with Him On Nothing

Well worth reading. I disagree with most of his views, but think he expresses his views thoughtfully for the most part.

Unexpectedly great

Unexpected great and read well.
My wife and truly loved it.
Makes more sense then you ever imagined

Enjoyable and insightful

Mike Huckabee covers a variety of topics with explanations of a conservative perspective. This is a wonderfully entertaining and insightful look at modern America and how we've changed during recent generations.

Fun and informative

Gov Huckabee has a wonderful voice to listen to. This book gives a bit of history, a bit of politics, a bit southern culture, and a lot of laughs.

Greatness!!

Common sense at its finest. I just wish enough of America would understand and do what takes to make a difference.
