The paperback version of my book is now out. A lot has been said and written about it - mostly from people who haven't ever read it. That has been a challenge because the book is not fundamentally a White...

Fair reviews. I'd add another to the list of misconceptions that people who haven't read the book hold. I thought your impression of the President was more sympathetic than many I've encountered or held. There is no Bush bashing. I enjoyed the book and recommend it (which is why I'm here.)
It seems to me Apple gave a store credit to those of us who bought our iPhones at the original price. How about a free poem for those of us who bought your book in hard cover.
A free poem?
Hmmm....
I'll have to work on it... maybe I should just send a zune...
OK, lame joke. Store credit for a subscription to the blog?
Done
Okay - I'll take advantage of that offer as well, if you don't mind. I also bought the hard-cover version - something I rarely do. ;-) At least two other family members also read it during a weeklong vacation in Mexico the week after the book was released. I think we all would agree with the reviews posted above.
One thing I do remember feeling slightly frustrated about after finishing the book is the lack of recognition given to all the people who choose to work in community-based nonprofits, schools, and agencies that are not "faith-based" but clearly dedicated to improving the lives of children, families, and seniors. I've been working in the not-for-profit sector in several states for more than 20 years and the lion's share of my colleagues have been women and Democrats. These are quiet soldiers who may or may not be Christians but have chosen to devote their lives to good work at the expense of comfortable retirements and luxuries today.
I don't really know what my exact gripe is at this point because I really appreciate what I perceive as a growth in perspective I have observed on this blog over the last several months. I guess I needed to get that perceived oversight off my chest. As always, no offense intended, David. And I do strongly recommend the book to others.
I told David on another thread that I just picked up his book for a $1 (.98 cents U.S.) at a used bookstore. Nonetheless, in the interests of Christian stewardship, before I kissed my loonie goodbye, I raced home and measured the bottom of my parakeet cage, just in case...
Though I care for you deeply David, your book was used to to catipult Democrats into power in the last mid-term elections. The Leftist press had a field day with it. It was used as 100% Bush-bashing.
Please do not help the Democrats do to America and Americans what they desire.
Donny
Did you ever think that David is just calling things as he sees them, Donny?
Oh, and trying to make a living in the process?
Neither of which, last I recall, are sins.
I'm just finishing another book and I'll be reading yours David. I've heard good things...can't wait!
