This is the sort of book that OnTheIssues dreams of every politician writing. Huckabee includes details of his issue stances on dozens of issues, including his underlying philosophy and a prescription for individual action. Please read the excerpts below and appreciate that Huckabee is the real thing when it comes to talking about the issues -- unlike most politicians, who hedge and hem and haw, even in their own books.
Huckabee's other two books are interesting reading for voters, but they're not issue-oriented books. Those two books deal with character issues and with personal legacy.
The subtitle of this book is "12 STOPS to Restoring America's Greatness." That central metaphor defines the chapter structure of this book (and plays on the "12 steps" of Alcoholics Anonymous and other self-help programs). Being a pastor, Huckabee advises self-restraint and discipline in 12 realms:
STOP being cynical
STOP thinking horizontally
STOP cheating our children
STOP the culture of chronic disease
STOP abusing our planet
STOP the revenge-based criminal justice system
STOP robbing the taxpayers
STOP the heat and turn on the light for hot issues
STOP the loss of America's prestige at home and abroad
STOP moving the landmarks of liberty
STOP the loss of good jobs and the erosion of agriculture
STOP being a selfish citizen
The main title of the book, "From Hope to Higher Ground", is a play on the title of Bill Clinton's book, "Between Hope and History." Both men were born and raised in the small town of Hope, Arkansas.
