From Hope to Higher Ground (English)

Born in Hope, Arkansas (famous as the birthplace of Bill Clinton), Mike Huckabee rose to the governorship of that state, and was there to oversee the arrival of tens of thousands of evacuees displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In FROM HOPE TO HIGHER GROUND, Huckabee relates the story of how he got there, which included military service and six years as a pastor of a Baptist church before he and his family started fresh, and Mike entered politics as a Republican. FROM HOPE TO HIGHER GROUND underscores Huckabee's aim to make government work for the people. Huckabee discusses immigration, education, taxes, and health care costs among other issues, and he proposes what he calls 12 "STOPS," not steps, to making America better--behaviors that need to end before new ideas and policies can bring about change. minimize
