The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland

Written by Glenn Beck

Narrated by Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, delivers a compelling, patriotic, and spiritually driven message to inspire you to help lead us back to that place that is quickly being forgotten...THE REAL AMERICA.

Glenn Beck has entertained, inspired, and informed millions with his self-effacing humor, heartfelt conviction, and down-to-earth approach to life. And in The Real America, a powerful collection of his early writings, he calls it as he sees it, cutting through the fog of those who have made it their mission to underestimate -- and undermine -- the greatness of America and the power of "We the People." Whether the topic is family, religion, personal responsibility, rampant political correctness, presidential elections, or out-of-control celebrities, Glenn Beck rails against the forces that keep us from uniting and fulfilling our potential and explains how to overcome them.

Reviews for The Real America

[wiszard · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I like Glenn Beck on the radio. His irrelevant style and sarcasm bode well with me. His book is ok. He does a good job explaining why he thinks the way he does. For me this makes the book a good read. Other people may not care. If so, this book isn't for you.

Let me get this out of the way. Glenn Beck is a moron. I am conducting a small experiment.I am a Democrat and tend to read more progressive books. So I decided to read some conservative books to see what the other side of the fence looks like. If Glenn Beck is any indication, the other side looks pretty bad. First the writing is horrible. Glenn tries to be funny, but usually it is either a) a little jab at himself which feels like he is really trying to show he is a regular guy or b) it is a slam against someone he doesn't like. I understand Glenn doesn't agree with people he considers liberals, but he takes offense if anyone criticizes him or conservatives. His opinions on the problems we as a country face are unrealistic. Again I understand that I am reading a conservative book with conservative solutions, but even his are really far fetched. I appreciate Glenn's honesty about his past history, but here's my problem. What makes a divorced, former alcoholic coke head feel he has the right to lecture anybody about family values? Yes people make mistakes and that should not disqualify him from ever having another opinion, but I think that he forgets he lives in glass house. Glenn takes an entire chapter on bipartisan politics and just inserted random words and says blah blah blah a lot. Again bipartisan is a bad word when the people I like are in charge, but when they are not then Glenn can't say bipartisan fast enough. Conservatives will probably enjoy this book, which serves to enforce the myth that only a conservative cares about soldiers and this country, while Democrats are the devil and they eat puppies and whatever other garbage Glenn can come up with. If you are a progressive thinking about reading this book, don't bother. It's bad, trust me.
