Gregory J. Rummo (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 19, 2010

"Confidently recommended reading, The View from the Grass Roots is filled from cover to cover with keen insights, profound thoughts, and a deep and diverse understanding of the human condition." -Midwest Book Review "[Rummo is] uniquely qualified . . . It is clear from the quality of his writing that he has been at this for quite a while. Plenty of exercise for the mind and soul." -Willard Samuel, Adjunct Scholar at Frontiers of Freedom "Greg Rummo is a great writer and a great human being, facts that shine like precious stones in his prolific output. I have trouble not hating him for his talent and energy." -Joe Klock, Sr., Author and Syndicated Columnist "Greg Rummo is one of my heroes. His book masterfully gives a cohesive view of liberal politics and biased media and the impact they have on the American culture. And he does it with engaging evidence." -Thomas Ciesielka, TC Public Relations "By approaching the latest public issues from the angle of religion, informed by Christianity, Gregory Rummo offers an attractive corrective to the assumptions often underlying coverage of stories in mainstream print media. His unashamed point of view can be infuriating . . . for example, to state his case, he often sets up so-called liberals as targets, then dismantles them by his arguments; it is a facile device. But there is much merit to what he says. And he is never mean. Which is high praise indeed." -Charles Saydah, Letters to the Editor, The Record
