A VERY GOOD READ

I bought this for my dad for his birthday a few months ago because I consider him to be a remarkable person as well. He thoroughly loved it and is having my mom now read it. If my dad says it's good than it is so.


Lives up to its hype

A book that is worth the words that they are written on. Personal beliefs are unique due to individual lifestyles which are reflected by the inspirational essays making up this book. Spend your money and you will be very glad you did.

Good Read!

Short stories that share the reality and persistence of the common American. Some really hit home. Others are lighthearted and yet profound.
Recommended.

?A welcome change from the sloganeering, political mudslinging and products of spin doctors.??The Philadelphia Inquirer

 

Based on the NPR series of the same name, This I Believe features eighty Americans?from the famous to the unknown?completing the thought that the book?s title begins. Each piece compels readers to rethink not only how they have arrived at their own personal beliefs but also the extent to which they share them with others.
Featuring many renowned contributors?including Isabel Allende, Colin Powell, Gloria Steinem, William F. Buckley Jr., Penn Jillette, Bill Gates, and John Updike?the collection also contains essays by a Brooklyn lawyer; a part-time hospital clerk in Rehoboth, Massachusetts; a woman who sells yellow pages advertising in Fort Worth, Texas; and a man who serves on Rhode Island?s parole board.
The result is a stirring and provocative trip inside the minds and hearts of a diverse group of people whose beliefs?and the incredibly varied ways in which they choose to express them?reveal the American spirit at its best.
