Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Pat Boone has lived an amazing life of integrity–one that’s especially remarkable given his career field: the entertainment industry.

Who else has remained so true to his faith, family values, and love of God while being mobbed by screaming teenage girls, starring in Hollywood movies, befriending royalty, presidents, and rock stars alike, and staring out from the cover of Rolling Stone magazine?

A treasure trove of photos and memoirs, Pat Boone’s America finds him looking back with signature humor and humility at a half-century of American culture, carefully observing the moments and issues where he has been celebrated or rejected for what he believes in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pat Boone's America: 50 Years, January 9, 2007

By	Robert W. Collins "Bel Air Guy" (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I enjoyed the book, as did a colleague I loaned it to. It's Pat's philosphical statement using his career in pop music as a vehicle. There is some historical perspective and interesting stories along the way. Pat Boone is a genuinely good guy. Someone who stuck to his values despite the opposition. We need more like him, especially in the entertainment world. Lots of pictures illustrate the narrative. A good read.
