Politics seems to have the majority of the headlines these days. Everyone has an opinion. News networks each put their own "spin" on the current issues and personalities. I find it difficult to know who and what to believe. I have come to the conclusion that reading someone's own words may be the better gauge of a person and their beliefs. That is why I read Sarah Palin's autobiography, Going Rogue.
Needless to say, it would be next to impossible to find anyone in America who does not know who this dynamic personality is. She is one of the most recognizable women in the world. I was quite entertained by her persona throughout this book. She writes with the same vibrancy and urgency that we witnessed in her speeches as the 2008 Republican Vice-Presidential running mate of John Mc Cain.
But this book is not just about a person. It takes one behind the scenes of local and national government as well; something about which many women know nothing. It is most assuredly not as glamorous as one would think.
I definitely am not endorsing Mrs. Palin for any public office in the future. My strictly biblical-based position of what a woman's role in society entails differs from hers, but I do admire her tenacity for righting the wrongs she sees.
Each of us has an opinion. I would be interested in seeing yours after you have read this book, which by the way is available just about everywhere. I checked mine out from the library and you can also purchase it here

I want to read this book!
I have really enjoyed the books that you've posted here! There is a book website that is great that I have purchased all of the books from at fabulous prices. All were $3 or less with a couple of exceptions. Most had no shipping charge either. The sight is abebooks.com.
