Point of View

A Fresh Look at Work, Faith, and Freedom

By: Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Candace Cameron Bure - foreword

Narrated by: Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Karissa Vacker

Length: 5 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's summary

Recognized from her roles on Survivor, The View, and Fox & Friends, celebrity Elisabeth Hasselbeck presents a deeply intimate journey of faith, told through the important moments in her life.

"Point of view", by definition, is a particular attitude or way of considering a matter. Through her nearly two decades of broadcasting, Elisabeth learned the necessity of extracting the point of view of the person being interviewed on a particular topic or subject or experience. Doing so allows you to see issues and truths through another's eyes. It requires a shift in perspective to see the story through their lens.

In this illuminating audiobook, Elisabeth walks through the times - from her national celebrity days to her newest role as CBO (chief breakfast officer) - where she saw something differently than how God wanted her to, and the path back to his point of view was sometimes rocky but always revealing. Sometimes, God's intentions for her were clear, yet other times, she encountered situations so uncomfortable and blurry that she could only ask for his wisdom.

In this audiobook, Elisabeth welcomes you into the many different, and often divergent, points of view she has witnessed and learned from along the way. It is a journey that brought her to the ultimate point of view she discovered in the Word of God - that until she sees herself as he sees her, she is not seeing at all.

As you listen through the stories here, she invites you to make the same discovery for yourself.

"Elisabeth has captivated me - as she has most of America - from the beginning of her public life on Survivor, through her days on The View, and in her classy, intelligent presence on Fox & Friends. While this book chronicles details and events throughout her life, including those public forums, the thread of her faith and her commitment to Christ through all of those seasons inspires me like crazy.” (Sandra Stanley, North Point Ministries, speaker and author)

“Having it all may be impossible, but having most everything is only possible by living your faith as part of your journey. Elisabeth tells us how she does it - and so well.” (Dana Perino, White House press secretary to George W. Bush and host on Fox News)

“God has given Elisabeth this platform to share many of her stories so the rest of us can be inspired by her dreams, courage, endurance, tenacity, vulnerability, transparency, and most of all, dependence on her creator. She shows us how to make the absolute most of every single opportunity but is also humble enough to accept when God is gently guiding her into an entirely different realm of life. Thank you, Elisabeth, for encouraging us to go full force after our dreams, all while staying in His will.” (Missy Robertson, star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty and New York Times best-selling author)

Great read

Loved it! E.H. beautifully and humbly illustrates God's grace and mercy through her stories and sheds light on how to love others as God loves us.

I enjoyed every bit of it!!

Open and wholehearted story, Thank you for sharing your life with us. Love that you are the narrator too😊

very good, but...

I love the Christian aspect of the book. it was extremely encouraging. The only thing I would say to Elisabeth is, You paint a really pretty picture of your struggles but you have to remember that you came from a privileged background, not because of your skin color because I am also Caucasian. You have been given much and much has been required of you. When financial burdens are absent from someone's life then the lessons and tragedies may not break you the way it does common people. Love you on every conservative platform, however I doubt you have had to live through poverty or abuse by a parent and the other dying in their 30s from alcoholism. So when you have this or similar background and you don't have endless amounts of money, there is a great percentage of people that you are not going to be able to relate from your perspective. Your silver spoon was a little too shiny at times in this book.

Excellent

I enjoyed hearing the story narrated by the author. She was honest & open about joy, struggles and God’s faithfulness through it all. It’s important to take time to hear His voice.
