Book Reviews of Armey's Axioms: 40 Hard-Earned Truths from Politics, Faith, and Life
Book Review: Even A Democrat Can Appreciate It
Summary: 5 Stars
As a yellow dog Democrat it pains me to say it, but I have a new admiration for Dick Armey after reading this book. It is rare to get a glimpse of a politician that reveals his or her humanity, but I actually got that sense in reading Armey's Axioms. Even for those us of who may believe that government plays a necessary and vital role in assuring the common good and care for the most marginalized in our society there is sage advice about honor and integrity to be learned from Armey's book. I highly recommend it much to the chagrin of my fellow Democrats. It's too bad we didn't always see this side of Dick Armey while he was in office but it's good to know there was a good man in Washington even if I didn't always agree with him on policy. I wish I could say that about the current Majority Leader, Tom DeLay, but I doubt he's ever had an original thought and probably lacks the ability to even write a book.
Summary of Armey's Axioms: 40 Hard-Earned Truths from Politics, Faith, and Life
Acclaim for Armey's Axioms"As I read Armey?s Axioms, my mind immediately went to the man from Springfield, Abraham Lincoln, who cloaked brilliant wisdom with grace and good humor that had its roots in the heartland of America. Without question, Dick Armey is one of the most brilliant and principled men ever to serve in the leadership of the United States House of Representatives. His axioms are a delightful read for anyone seeking to understand the faith, the patriotism, and the integrity that has made America great."
?Dr. M. G. "Pat" Robertson
"In Armey?s Axioms, Dick Armey gives us more than his great sense of humor and Texas-size common sense. With a creative and personal touch, it is the best advice I?ve seen for those who want to make it in Washington, and even better for those who want to make it in life."
?Bob Dole
"We Americans like to cut to the chase when it comes to difficult issues. In Armey?s Axioms, Dick Armey does just that. By skillfully breaking down complex social and moral issues, he presents us with such simple and direct answers that it?s hard not to agree with his logic. Wrapped in wry wit and humor, the book is wise, insightful, and above all, compelling."
?Marlin Maddoux

host, Point of View radio talk show
"In just ten years, Dick Armey moved from C-SPAN viewer to Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. In Armey?s Axioms he presents some of the lessons he has learned from his years in the House and from country music. . . . It?s a good read, packed with good advice."
