Okay, so maybe I said I wasn’t going to read another Glenn Beck book… Well, I read another one. I thought this might be a good Christmas gift for some family members who enjoy Glenn Beck. It is just too overtly religious for me to give as a gift, so it didn’t make it under my tree. It was, however, a very nice book. The ending was sudden and a bit too happy with a nice bow on top for me, but nice all the same.Watch Glenn talk about his book and writing experience.I was feeling a bit badly about not getting this review out before Christmas, when I read a couple of articles about this book. It appears that a little controversy is springing up. I will be very interested to see how Glenn Beck handles it when he comes back to radio after his break. Read the articles here:LDS Living OnlineMormon TimesI can’t quite understand why people hang on to the idea that Mormons are a part of a cult and are not Christian. Mormons are Christian. Watch this video, I can’t say it any better:Mormons are Christians
