Mitt Romney: The Man, His Values and His Vision [Paperback]

Lisa Ray Turner; Kimberly Field (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 31, 2007

There aren t too many people who have earned simultaneous Juris Doctor and MBA degrees from Harvard. Mitt Romney is one of them. But he has always liked the toughest challenges. He first made a name for himself as the brilliant turnaround miracle worker from Bain Capital. And he's the one who turned the debt-ridden, scandal-plagued 2002 Olympics into a marvelous success.

Now he is campaigning to be our next president. He is a staunch advocate of free market economics and a devoted husband and father who believes in traditional values. Can he win? Will voters give him the chance to apply his management proficiency to our federal government?

Authors Lisa Ray Turner and Kimberly Field examine Mitt Romney as a man of incredible ability and driving energy. They examine his history, his policies, his alleged flip-flopping, and particularly the controversy surrounding his religion. As a team, they offer a unique perspective on this last issue: Lisa is LDS (Mormon), and Kim is an evangelical Christian. You ll find their insights fascinating.

I loved this book! It is well-written and fun to read. I especially liked the hot cocoa talk in the end. I felt like I was hanging out with a couple of my friends. After reading this book, my views have changed toward MItt. I like everything he stands for and in fact may switch to him because of the book. A great way to discover something about a political candidate in a way that doesn't put you to sleep.

This review is from: Mitt Romney: The Man, His Values and His Vision (Paperback)

Mitt Romney could well be our next president, and this book explains all the ins and outs of this fascinating man. The authors answer the tough questions about religion and flip-flopping and paint a realistic picture of the man who might be president. They aren't simply cheerleaders, nor are they rabid Republicans or cheerleaders. Not only did this book help me decide who to vote for, it was fast and fun to read.

This review is from: Mitt Romney: The Man, His Values and His Vision (Paperback)

I just finished reading the book, "Mitt Romney, the Man, His Values, and His Vision", and it was perfect for me... a lot of information, not HUGE (time is a luxury), and I LOVED getting the perspective of a Mormon and an Evengelical Christian... Perfection! A lot of facts, perspective, and yet two women from different backgrounds able to get along and discuss a subject intelligently. VERY enjoyable. I am very impressed! I wish one of these could be written on every candidate by these two women.
