Historia
Audiobook includes a special foreword on "Jerry Seinfeld, Jean Shepherd, and Compassionate Humor," by the author-narrator. For the first time, author Quentin Schultze, who taught storytelling with screenwriter Jean Shepherd, reveals the “secret” parables that Shepherd included in his screenplay for A Christmas Story. Now you won't need a decoder ring to learn why the Old Man’s leg lamp is his “trophy wife,” why the bully is named “Scut,” why there is a “Bumpus” in all of us, why Mom and the kids give a “Bronx cheer” after singing “Jingle Bells” in the Olds, and so much more.

Revisado: 12-26-24
What A Great Book! Quin captures the why’s of Jean Shepherd’s great movie, The Christmas Story. Thank you for sharing your conversations and insights about Jean. I’ve watched the movie every year since taking my daughters to see it in our local theater in 1983. As the oldest kid who was a vivid dreamer on a farm in Wisconsin, I completely identified with Ralphie. His relationship with the Oldman made complete sense as did the relationship with Mom. My kid time was the ‘50’s but many of the same things were going on around me back then. The coal burning furnace, push button light switches, Mrs. Thompson (my teacher) who taught 3rd and 4th grades in the same room, bullies, fights - it was all there for me. Quin shares numerous insights into his life as well as revealing details into Shep’s. Quin was interviewed by Glenn Beck and I couldn’t wait to order the book! And it outperformed all my expectations. Great job Quin with the book and the performance! Thanks so much!

Historia
Today’s conservatives know what they’re against. They’re anti-woke, anti-globalist, anti-big government. But what exactly do they stand for? The fact that this is a hard question to answer is a damning indictment of the modern Republican Party which has abjectly failed to articulate an affirmative alternative to the left’s vision. Ramaswamy calls on the conservative movement to articulate exactly what it stands for, or else warns of another illusory “red wave” in 2024.

Historia
Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. And many Christians never get beyond a Sunday school understanding of their own faith. As a result, Christianity's most important historical fact—the resurrection—is often the most misunderstood, relegated to Easter and funeral services, creating a powerless Christianity. In Body of Proof, acclaimed apologist and scholar Dr. Jeremiah Johnston sets out to show why Jesus's victory over death is central to a believer's faith.

It answered many questions I’ve had about my Christian Faith backed with Biblical backup. The author did an excellent way to present his thoughts to someone who doesn’t have the same depth of understanding.

When he left Congress in 2017, Jason Chaffetz still thought elections could save us. For generations, conservatives have hoped that freedom-loving congressional majorities could turn back the tide and restore America’s liberties and prosperity. But now, he says, winning elections will not be enough.

Historia
Peter Schweizer says that, in a quarter-century as an investigative journalist, this is the scariest investigation he has ever conducted. That the Chinese government seeks to infiltrate American institutions is hardly surprising. What is wholly new, however, are the number of American elites who are eager to help the Chinese dictatorship in its quest for global hegemony.

We’ve been sold out by greed.
Revisado: 05-21-23
Schweizer opened my eyes to the terrible fact that the negative motives of those powerful anti American men and women is simply greed. Sadly there are precious few who won’t sell their souls and my freedom to the Chinese. Schweizer calls them out for the traitors they are starting with the Biden’s. Good old Joe is a traitor.

If it seems to you that Barack Obama and Joe Biden have weakened America and emboldened our enemies, you’re not alone. But Senator Cotton explains that their failures aren’t just incompetence or bad luck—it’s decline by design. Only the Strong reveals the untold inside story of how progressive ideologues and Democratic politicians abandoned the American tradition of strength, pride, and honor.

Kirk Herbstreit is a reflection of the sport he loves, a reflection of his football-crazed home state of Ohio, where he was a high school star and Ohio State captain, and a reflection of another Ohio State football captain thirty-two years earlier: his dad Jim, who battled Alzheimer’s disease until his death in 2016.

Good guys do finish first sometimes
Revisado: 10-26-21
Kirk’s book is a deeply personal, real story of someone who I’ve seen on game day many times but had no appreciation for who he really is. His courage to address his trials and tribulations is indeed remarkable. A solid family man dedicated to his broadcast team and football. It doesn’t get better!
He’s got the stuff of heroes in a humble package.
He is a credit to his craft but more importantly he’s an exemplary man to be viewed by younger men as a role model outside the typical mold of overpaid, washed up super heroes who lack humility.
I would ask him about his position on BLM, racism and anti racism issues that we find society embroiled in today. I know he does not see race.
Great book well read!
Thank you

Historia
Thirty years ago, Tucker Carlson got his first job out of college fact-checking for a quarterly magazine, and he went on to write for many other publications before becoming the primetime Fox News host he is today. In The Long Slide, Tucker delivers a few of his favorite pieces - annotated with new commentary and insight - to memorialize the tolerance and diversity of thought that the media used to celebrate instead of punish.

Tucker has a very wide set of experiences. Some were hilarious - laughed so hard - others frightening.
This book is an insight into who Tucker is and where he came from. We really enjoyed it.

Historia
The Second World Wars examines how combat unfolded in the air, at sea, and on land to show how distinct conflicts among disparate combatants coalesced into one interconnected global war. Drawing on 3,000 years of military history, Victor Davis Hanson argues that despite its novel industrial barbarity, neither the war's origins nor its geography were unusual. Nor was its ultimate outcome surprising. The Axis powers were well prepared to win limited border conflicts, but once they blundered into global war, they had no hope of victory.

The presentation is long and well thought out as Victor Davis Hanson always does. Breaking the war into distinct elements provides an informative overview of that horrific event. Additionally, his objectivity provides an even handed account of the war.

Historia
For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare--poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a US Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force tactical air controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events.

Dear David,
I’m retired and have lived a productive, fulfilling life. For many years I read a motivational book each month to bolster my goals and aspirations. Your book’s like none I ever read.
I’m not a veteran, I’ve focused on many goals. Some physical - I played football in 3 of the 4 high schools I attended as well as in college. Some Academic- I earned a 5 year mechanical engineering degree in 4 years. That 8 year period of my life taught me the power of discipline, commitment and hard work. As a farm kid, I was blessed with the full understanding of hard, dirty, physical work that I never forgot.
I enjoyed a wonderful career. I lead a 57 engineer team to some serious successes. But, I never harbored ideas that I was bigger than life.
Where I part ways with your book is the necessity of being the ‘best’ engineer there is. I was able to extract the best from my teams and accepted I wasn’t the smarted, meanest, SOB - though I did not doubt my strong leadership abilities and never settled or backed down.
In the end of your book, you speak of God’s chart for us all. What if God’s chart shows being a great father to 3 sons who vastly eclipsed your own father’s performance here on earth? How about being a great husband" Being the baddest MFer isn’t part of those job descriptions.
I pray you’ll adjust the chart of your future to demonstrate God’s love and your Faith. You were blessed with a needed repair of your heart - I wish you the best of luck in a future bigger than yourself. Being the baddest MFer on the planet is an elusive and fleeting title.
I realize you’ve only done an autopsy on a part of your life but it sounds like there are some parts that can use some help because the only soul you’re taking in the rest of your life’s competition is your own.
I respect your service and am in awe of your amazing accomplishments.
Thank you for an honest, thought provoking book. Good Job!
In Love and Faith I Remain Your Fan!
