Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host Glenn Beck provides readers with the truth about the issues the media and politicians are scared to touch.
COURAGE > COWARDS
As we approach the most important presidential election in America’s history, something has been lost among all of the debates, attack ads, and super- PACs—something that Americans used to hold in very high regard: THE TRUTH.
Glenn Beck likes to say that “the truth has no agenda”—but there’s another side to that: people who have agendas rarely care about the truth. And, these days, it seems like everyone has an agenda. The media leads with stories that rate over those that matter. Politicians put lobbyists and electability over honesty. Radicals alter history in order to change the future.
In Cowards, Glenn Beck exposes the truth about thirteen important issues that have been hijacked by deceit. Whether out of spite, greed, or fear, these are the things that no one seems to be willing to have an honest conversation about. For example:
* How our two-party POLITICAL SYSTEM often leaves voters with NO GOOD OPTIONS.
* How extremists are slowly integrating ISLAMIC LAW into our SOCIETY.
* How PROGRESSIVE “religious” leaders like JIM WALLIS are politicizing the Bible.
* How the CARTEL VIOLENCE on our border is FAR WORSE than people realize.
* How “LIBERTARIAN” has been INTENTIONALLY turned into a DIRTY WORD.
* How GEORGE SOROS has amassed enough MONEY and POWER to INFLUENCE entire ECONOMIES.
In some cases, the truth is out there, but people simply don’t want to hear it. It’s much easier, and certainly a lot more convenient, to keep our blinders on. After all, as a quote attributed to President James Garfield made clear, “The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.”
Miserable or not, the truth can no longer be something we hope for; it must be something we live. When courage prevails, cowards do not—and this book was written to ensure that’s exactly what happens.

"I only wish that I had purchased this book instead of borrowing from the library. Would loved to have been able to highlight and reference later and also pass on to my family members. Shared different highlights with my 13 year old son as well. The chapter on Drugs, Terrorists and Murders in Our Backyard was eye opening, as well as the chapter on Education. Everything is well cited."

" Lots of important information. The intelligence explosion section was very intriguing. "
— Berdo, 2/13/2014 -
" Beck speaks out on a variety of current issues. He makes observations and suggestions that no one else seems willing to come out and say. This is well-written and well-documented. "
— Kathy, 2/7/2014 -
" The book offers important arguments and ideas for improving our nation. Glenn Beck's style is a bit too much for me occasionally, yet this does not get in the way of the serious issues. "
— Gregg, 2/5/2014 -
" Consider this a MUST read for every US citizen. Knowledge is important and powerful. "
— Barbara, 1/26/2014 -
" The world is full of cowards and cowardly ideas. While this book does a great job of highlighting those, it also does a good job of pointing out plenty of brave alternatives. "

— Maulik, 1/2/2014 -
" Hard to put down book, so it gets A+. "
— D-train, 12/17/2013 -
" Great overview of our current situation from our government to education. How the stablishment still doesn't want to address the people wishes and why they will not do it. Great book. "

" I really like Glenn Beck's writing style. The information was presented well. No matter what political beliefs you may have, this book is surely an important one to read. "
— Karla, 9/13/2013 -
" This is a well written textbook on everything Beck finds wrong with our culture and government. Extremely well documented. He really offers no solutions and therefore the book is depressing especially for those who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior. "
— Opa, 8/26/2013 -
" LOVED it. All the chapters are great, the final chapter is a big surprise and totally awesome. "
— Sean, 8/26/2013 -
" Glenn Beck will probably never produce a more readable book. Coherently written, and the highest, most outlandish fallacy-to-paragraph ratio yet. Recommended. "
— Adam, 8/12/2013 -
" I would love for every American to read this! "
— Cindi, 6/30/2013 -
" Several eyeopening facts that are all well resourced in the conclusion of the book. A book that both camps can learn from unless the brainwashing is too difficult to overcome. "
— Ed, 6/7/2013 -
" Another great researched book with over 50 pages of citations. I talks about who are the biggest cowards and why. Easy to digest and a thought provoking read. "
— Melissa, 2/28/2013 -
" A must read for anyone planning on voting! Beck's best work to date. "
— Deb, 2/13/2013 -
