Where We See Tragedy, God Sees Possibility . . . Few American epics
of tragedy, intrigue, friendship, and faith will entertain and
challenge the soul like the narrative inspired by the events in the
real life of David Ring--a boy literally born dead who survives
with sobering consequences. Living with the harsh realities of
cerebral palsy, Ring faces impossible odds yet stumbles into an
improbable life of inspiration and influence in the small,
unassuming town of Liberty, Missouri, in the 1960s. As a teenage
boy, Ring finds himself tragically orphaned and being shuffled
about to various homes. Along this journey, he faces secret,
unspeakable atrocities that eventually plunge him into the depths
of depression and attempted suicide. But amid the harsh troubles of
life, he encounters another boy his age named David, the son of a
local pastor. Their unlikely friendship begins on the rocks, but
eventually develops into something extraordinary and unique that
alters the trajectory of both of their lives--and the whole town of
Liberty--forever.

Governor Mike Huckabee motivates readers to better health. With his
new 12 "Stop" program, he encourages people to break free from the

truly succeed. Filled with Huckabee's realistic lifestyle changes,
practical fitness approach, and southern humor, QUIT DIGGING YOUR
GRAVE WITH A KNIFE AND FORK motivates readers to take action and
realize fitness is not a fad, it's forever.
The "New York Times" bestseller that's perfect for any parent or
Grandparent
A few years ago, Mike Huckabee began drafting a series of letters
to his grandchildren, Chandler and Scarlett, about the things that
matter most: faith, love, family, overcoming adversity, and staying
true to your values in the face of failure and temptation.
Those letters are collected in this charming and inspirational
bestseller, full of personal stories. They are nonpolitical and
have universal appeal, no matter what your age, religion, or
personal situation. We can all benefit from what Huckabee wishes he
had known during tough times, rather than learning the hard
way.
When Governor Mike Huckabee entered the Republican presidential
race, he was the ultimate dark horse, with almost no money, no
consultants, and no name recognition beyond Arkansas. The so-called
experts were highly amused by this former small state governor from
blue-collar roots who also played bass in a rock band. He wouldn't
have a prayer against the well-connected and financially wired pros
like Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson.
But Huckabee had one big advantage: a common sense message that
connected with millions of people, and not just his fellow
evangelical Christians. He spoke about family values, fair taxes,
and helping hard-working, middle-class Americans in a tough
economy. And to the dismay of some Republicans, he talked about
fighting Wall Street greed and K Street corruption.
Huckabee shocked the country by winning the all-important Iowa
caucuses and seven other states, while spending far less than the
other major candidates. He created an army of passionate volunteers
and small donors, transforming his campaign into a true movement
that will endure long after Election Day.
"Do The Right Thing" is Huckabee's amazing story, in his own
words--from making commercials with Chuck Norris to meeting a
Michigan woman who insisted on donating her wedding ring. But this
is more than just a campaign memoir. It's a vision for a smarter,
fairer type of politics--"vertical politics"--that focuses on
common sense solutions for education, health care, the economy, and
many other issues. It's not about right versus left; it's about
taking America up rather than down.
Huckabee also shows how the Republican Party can heal its
divisions--between social and fiscal conservatives, the wealthy and
the middle class, the religious and the secular--and become a true
majority party again.
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN TODAY'S CULTURE THAT
WILL BENEFIT FUTURE GENERATIONS? Former Governor Mike Huckabee
shares how to live a life that will continue to be felt by those
who carry your legacy forward. Whether in politics, family,
education, or business, what matters most is leaving a legacy for
future generations. Rare, Medium or Done Well emphasizes the
importance of understanding where we've been, where we are now, and
how both determine where we're going. Mike asserts, "A person who
has no standard to live by other than the culture of the moment is
a person whose principles might as well come from the latest public
opinion polls."
Now available in Spanish, the bestselling book in which a leaner
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee shares his secrets for creating
better health habits that last a lifetime.
