Mike Huckabee was a Presidential candidate in 2008, Arkansas Governor, New York Times bestselling author and was the host of “Huckabee” on Fox News Channel. He is the host of “The Huckabee Report” syndicated on national radio. In his new book, GOD, GUNS, GRITS, AND GRAVY (St. Martin’s Press, National On Sale Date Tuesday January 20, 2015; $26.99), Huckabee reflects on America as it used to be, as it is today, and what it could become again.
Huckabee ranges across subjects including the erosion of public education, government intrusion on personal freedoms, religion and its changing place in American life, the new lows popular culture has sunk to in a society that worships the wrong heroes, as well as the consequences of pressuring young children to mature and excel. Straight-shooting, plainspoken, clear-eyed and downright funny, Huckabee addresses today’s divided nation drawing from his travels as a presidential candidate to present average, small-town Americans and their optimistic resilience in the face of hard times. Their stories, says Huckabee, “will inspire readers to think about their own values and rediscover what makes America great.”
