Product Description
How powerful is integrity? Just ask minister-turned-statesman, Mike Huckabee. As lieutenant governor of Arkansas in 1996, he was publicly cast between the ultimate rock and hard place when his boss, governor Jim Guy Tucker, refused to resign despite his felony convictions in the Whitewater scandal. Holding fast to the tenets of honor and faith, and his concern over what was best for the state’s people, Huckabee led the impeachment charge against his superior before a televised audience. That same day, Tucker resigned, and Huckabee would serve as governor of Arkansas until 2007, winning many national honors along the way. Character Makes a Difference is Mike Huckabee’s biographical account of how he handled that potentially major constitutional crisis and why he believes character is the key issue in everyone’s life, “in the work you do, the candidates you vote for, the people who look to you for leadership.”

4 out of 5 stars Character   November 18, 2008
While I don't agree with Mike Huckabee politically 100% of the time, you can't argue with his main premise in his book which is that we need leadership with "Character".

Mike is a down-to-earth kind of guy with a country, home-spun, self-depriciating humor that will move even the coldest hearts.

Mike writes like he talks (in fact, sometimes better) so if you have seen his TV show, you will get an idea of how the book will flow.



5 out of 5 stars Mike Huckabee is Humble, Likeable, and a Great Leader!   November 10, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Mike Huckabee will be one of the greatest leaders in American history. He treats everyone respectfully, even if they disagree with him. He is one of the most likeable, personable, friendly, humble people to run for President since Ronald Reagan.

Mike Huckabee's new show HUCKABEE on Foxnews at 8pm ET on Sat. & Sun. is so well liked that thousands across the country can hardly wait each week to tune in. Whether you agree with Huckabee's philosophy or not, you know that you have made a good friend when you meet him and his wonderful family.



5 out of 5 stars I love it   March 25, 2008
Mike Huckabee is an amazing man, he continues to inspire me with his insight. This book is a must read.


4 out of 5 stars Beyond the Politics   March 23, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Governor Huckabee seemed to have come out of nowhere during the campaign season, to have won Iowa in the Republican Primary. Sometimes that success gets credited to the media (or even to Steven Colbert, Conan O'Brian, and others whose shows he frequented- and who jokingly fought over who "created the Huckabee phenomenon"), but after reading this autobiography on Mike Huckabee, you will understand how he got where he is, why he won Iowa, and how he would lead. It is obvious from reading this autobiography and learning where Governor Huckabee comes from, that he will continue to be a major player in politics.


5 out of 5 stars A real compassionate conservative   March 6, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

First let me say I'm a Democrat who was raised by social-conservative Republican parents in Texas. That being said I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this book last year, but I was half expecting a self-serving bit of prose from a man who was expecting to run for the presidency the following year. But, with summer reading largely consisting of romance novels and cookbooks, I thought I'd give this one a try. I'm glad I did.

Governor Huckabee doesn't pull any punches in telling you where he came from. He embraces his religious roots, talks about his human weaknesses as well as his strengths, and talks openly about the political bickering that goes on in churches and how exposure to such an atmosphere prepared him for a career in politics. Due to his humble beginnings he has a real empathy for the little guy. I think that's why he scared so many neocons when he had some early success in the Republican primaries. A REAL compassionate conservative??? The national Republican party can have none of that! A FAIR tax??? Life isn't supposed to be fair unless you're a CEO!

Mr. Huckabee could be the future of the Republican party given his natural likability and gift for oratory. However, his religious views will no doubt scare off the secular Northeast and West Coast. I'm sure he realizes that, yet he doesn't shrink from his background nonetheless, which is a sign of character in itself. Compare this to Mitt Romney, the blow-dried poll-tested candidate who went down in flames. If you've wondered just what makes Mr. Huckabee tick, try this book. I think you'll come away admiring him regardless of whether or not you agree with his legislative goals.
