Product Description GLENN BECK, award winning radio and TV host has been talking about "The 5000 Year Leap!" Have you ever read a book which literally changed the course of your thinking and your life? The founder's success formula, as presented in 5000 Year Leap would solve nearly every problem we have in American today if followed. This book will give you a feeling of confidence in today's confused world. Once an individual has a working knowledge of the only correct and proven principles for freedom, prosperity, and peace, then other history can be taught from a whole different perspective. American History becomes a study of how the United States throughout its 200 plus years has either supported the principles of liberty and prospered, or violated these principles and suffered. Can any other knowledge be more helpful to the rising generation in America today? America desperately needs better and stronger leaders. We need leaders who know correct answers and will step forward and make a positive diference in this world.
A treasure and an excellent starting point!September 4, 2010 student If your looking to start your journey through american history and grasp a basic understanding of what America means (or was intended to mean), then this book "The 5,000 Year Leap", without question is the best starting point! It takes you through the Founders ideas of good "nation building" and digs into the Founders philosophical ideas (such as Cicero), and of course the 28 principles of freedom as understood by the founders (a good amount of quotes from their letters and addresses help validate the writings of the 5TYL). Easy to understand (in fact that is the very reason why Skousen decided to write the book, because in his time, there was hardly any books that thoroughly examined the genius formula of America imbedded by the founders), however, the writing style back then takes a little time and effort to get used to. My review DOESN"T do the book justice, but I hope you pick the books up and read it as I believe ever american should do!
If your looking for a starting point on history, actual history, GET THIS BOOK NOW! The book is more valuable than the money your spending on it!
One of the BEST!September 1, 2010 J Hosack(PA) Well done, well documented, well disciplined. I wish I had the understanding this book has given me 20 years ago. I know of no better synthesis that explains the genius of America and what sets her apart and expalins the monment in history that produced men/women capable of giving to posterity a manner of keeping the people in charge of their own destiny. You can understand how current affairs are the result of an ill-educated, underachieving, self-centered citizenry. If "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance", then this book will be the vanguard that teaches us what vigilance guards against. Well done and well worth the read. My highest praise and thanks to the author.
This book should be taught at home and in our schoolsAugust 15, 2010 Biker Bob(Dirty Jerzey) Ive read all the bad reviews and compare those to the "plants" the demoncraps are putting in the tea party events to try and smear good caring Americans. If you care about this great country read this book, then teach your children to learn from this book and then your family and friends. There is nothing radical about this book at all. It just teaches you the hows, and whys the constitution came about and more importantly the dangers we face if we dont protect it. And some great examples are quoted from our founding fathers that certainly pertain to our current state of the USA and the evil anti-constitution politicians of BOTH parties. But this book now or soon before our government outlaws it or even worse tries to edit it and rewrite it to fit thei un-constitutional agendas. BTW President Reagan wanted this book to be taught in all American schools, and Ted Kennedy along with his liberal/communist demoncraps fought vigorously to stop this book from making it to the precious minds of our children!
Real HistoryAugust 6, 2010 D. M. Dickinson(Oklahoma USA) I am a substitute teacher, covering the middle school classes, 6th through 8th grade. This book not only fills in the missing information not printed in today's class materials but gives careful insight to the reasons of freedom and why we are a nation. Highly recommend for homeschoolers and adult truth seekers.
Excellence of 5000 Year LeapAugust 1, 2010 B. A. Linde This is an excellent book. It is very easily understood and well written. It should be used in the classroom of our high school and college students. I am going to use this book for review with a group in my town.
