Glenn Beck Endorses Book ‘George Washington’s Sacred Fire’ … Book Climbs from 475,000 Rank to #1 in Books

“SOCIAL JUSTICE EXPOSED — LIBERALISM IN THE CLOAK OF CHRISTIANITY”
Glenn Beck: America? This is a book that every household should have … the book is an avalanche of information … discredits ‘all of the scholars’ … ‘best book on faith and the founding I’ve ever read.’ Beck interviewed Peter Lillback, President of the Westminster Theological Seminary and author of Sacred Fire.

What sets “George Washington’s Sacred Fire” apart from all previous works on this man for the ages, is the exhaustive fifteen years of Dr. Peter Lillback’s research, revealing a unique icon driven by the highest of ideals. Only do George Washington’s own writings, journals, letters, manuscripts, and those of his closest family and confidants reveal the truth of this awe-inspiring role model for all generations. Dr. Lillback paints a picture of a man, who, faced with unprecedented challenges and circumstances, ultimately drew upon his persistent qualities of character – honesty, justice, equity, perseverence, piety, forgiveness, humility, and servant leadership, to become one of the most revered figures in world history. George Washington set the cornerstone for what would become one of the most prosperous, free nations in the history of civilization. Through this book, Dr. Lillback, assisted by Jerry Newcombe, will reveal to the reader a newly inspirational image of General and President George Washington.

An enlightening, engaging, and long overdue correction of the falsehood that Washington lacked faith.
– Rodney Stark, Baylor University

Dr. Lillback burries the myth that Washington was an unbeliever – at most a “deist” – under an avalanche of facts . . . .
– Robert P. George, Princeton University

Ten appendices cover the rules of civility and decent behavior that Washington abided by, as well as representative biblical quotations and allusions that Washington used all of the time. The other appendices cover sermons, and other prayers by others that were impacting to Washington.

The book confronts the liberal revisionist history that faith was not a part of the founding of the United States of America.

Three Chicago Fire Department Firefighters on Dr. Oz 60-Day Weight Loss Challenge

Dr. Oz gave a hero’s welcome to three Chicago firefighters Thursday. The audience learned that many firefighters started out fit, but a after a lot of eating at the firehouse, they became overweight and noticed a little more trouble with the job, especially climbing the ladder truck.

The three firefighters definitely showed some risk factors for heart disease! The firefighters accepted a challenge to lose 4 inches off their waist measurement in 60 days.

Iggy
235 lbs, Waist 43 inches, LDL Cholesterol 140, and blood pressure 160/94 mm Hg

Doug
Blood Pressure 138/78, Waist 44 inches, Body Weight 237 LBS with a family history of heart disease. Doug was already taking anti-cholesterol medications, so his LDL level was not displayed.

Mauricio “Juicy”
Body Mass Index (BMI) 41, Body Weight 284 lbs, Waist 49 inches

To save the firefighter’s lives, Dr. Oz recommended a four-part Drill Plan accompanied by former firefighter Rip Esselstyn, who developed his “Engine 2 Diet” plan for a team of overweight Texas firefighters.

Drill 1: Extinguish Dairy and Processed Foods (1-2 weeks)
Cheesy Meat Lasagna (800 calories changed over to Sweet Potato & Vegetable Lasagna with less than half the calories of the meat lasagna)

Drill 2: Extinguish Meat and Eggs (3-4 weeks)
Cheeseburger wih fries (950 calories) changed over to a Portabello Burger (290 calories)

Drill 3: Extinguish Bad Oils (5-6 weeks)
Unhealthy oil-baked cupcakes to Dark Chocolate Brownies made with applesauce.

Drill 4: Add Cardio & Strength Training (Weeks 7-8)
Funky jumping jacks for cardio, flutter kicks for core strength

Engine Two Diet by Rip Esseltyn

Sarah Palin Going Rogue,’ Couric/CBS Omitted Substantive Remarks, Kept ‘Gotcha’ Moments

Sarah Palin writes at length about CBS anchor Katie Couric in Going Rogue. Palin alleges that Couric and CBS omitted her more “substantive” remarks and settled for “gotcha” moments — saying Couric had a “partisan agenda” and a condescending manner. Couric was “badgering,” biased and far easier on Palin’s Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, she writes in the book ‘Going Rogue’ shipping November 17, 2009. Amazon.com Sales Rank: #1 in Books.

“Charles Gibson peered skeptically at her over his glasses like a disapproving a principal.”
[Palin] opens up for the first time about the 2008 presidential race, providing a rare, mom’s-eye view of high-stakes national politics—from patriots dedicated to “Country First” to slick politicos bent on winning at any cost.


The book also confirms trouble in the McCain-Palin campaign.

Sarah Palin grew up in Alaska towns, from Skagway to Wasilla to Anchorage, while her dad taught science and coached high school sports. She and her future husband, Todd Palin, graduated from Wasilla High School in 1982, and she went on to earn her college degree from the School of Journalism at the University of Idaho. Palin served two terms on the Wasilla City Council, then two terms as the city’s mayor and manager, and was elected by her peers as president of the Alaska Conference of Mayors. She then chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Palin was elected Alaska’s youngest, and first female, governor, serving from 2006 to 2009. While serving her state she was tapped as Senator John McCain’s running mate in 2008, becoming the first female Republican vice presidential candidate in our nation’s history.

The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children, including a son in the U.S. Army, and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.

Coulter: Levi Johnston ‘White Trash Idiot” in Playgirl Same Day as Sarah Palin’s Book ‘Going Rogue’ Hits Shelves


After the running — you know — she talked about how nice it would be to take some of this money people been offerin’ us and — you know — just run with it — you know — and just sayin’ — forget all, forget everything else.

Ann Coulter calls him a White Trash Idiot …

Levi Johnston, the father to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s grandchild, says he knows things about Sarah Palin, but he wouldn’t want to hurt her.

He’ll be in Playgirl on November 16, 2009 — the same day that Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue
(#2 in books on Amazon Nov 1, 2009) hits store shelves.

“I’m not gonna go out there and just get naked [he's doing it tastefully],” says Johnston.

“He’s trying to get famous … he’s pursuing his 15 minutes of fame, says Kristen Powers, political commentator. He has a tattoo of his last name spelled out on his left forearm. After losing a promise ring during a caribou hunt, Johnston had Bristol’s name tattooed on his finger. Drama King?

Preparing for the Playgirl photo shoot, Johnston worked out three hours a day, six nights a week. He worked out with an Anchorage body builder, Marvin Jones, a former Mr. Alaska.

Sarah Palin’s response: Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention.


D-Lister Kathy Griffin from Oak Park, Illinois and Forest Park, Illinois tells Conan O’Brien she might be pregnant with Levi Johnston’s baby — she’s “not talking about the baby bump to sell books or anything.”

On August 9, 2009 Griffin, 48, attended the Teen Choice Awards with Levi Johnston and interviewed him in her role as guest host on Larry King Live. In the interview, Griffin and Johnston mocked the idea that they were in a serious relationship. She later Twittered on August 10 that “Oh, and I think I’m pregnant”.

Glenn Beck’s Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by writing Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future — and, ultimately, her freedom.

Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And in 2009, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s powerful treatise with one purpose:

To galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-part monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.

Glenn Beck’s Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine illuminates the failures of both political parties — Republicans and Democrats. Glenn Beck points out that as Americans aren’t paying attention, both political parties are usurping power for the government, political parties and the companies that bankroll that power. Readers and listeners will grasp a sense of ominous reality and sobering history, and understand America’s direction that already scares people who have come from countries with socialist governments.

What is the title of Glenn Beck’s best-selling book?
Common Sense: The Case Against an Out-of-Control Government, Inspired by Thomas Paine

The book has been #1 and #2 on Amazon’s best-sellers list since it was released June 16, 2009.
