Our present era demands a new style of leadership that transcends political affiliation and party lines. In an age that values relationship over authority and instant information over accuracy, breadth of knowledge and depth of conviction are prized commodities. Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) brings both of those qualities to her new role as candidate for the vice presidency of the United States. Her familiarity with a broad range of issues and her strong moral center are just two of the leadership traits that have allowed Palin to organize and focus her efforts in elected office. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian faith, author Joe Hilley-s biographical leadership study of Sarah Palin explores the leadership principles that have catapulted her into the national spotlight and explains how she models a fresh paradigm of leadership that will guide our nation through the 21st century.

Very interesting and informative:
This wonderful book is a biography of Governor of Alaska, and Vice-Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin. The book both tells the story of Sarah Palin, and goes into depth on the character she had displayed throughout her life - especially during her public career.

And, it succeeded in holding my interest from cover to cover,... more info

Maybe Palin's two high school... more info
Good Positive Role Model...thank you!:
I'm so tired of this "entitlement" mentality and the so-callled feminist movement that wants me to act like anything BUT a woman. Funny how the root word is feminine! This is great. It's positive. It's not rooted in jealousy and envy....unfortunately, so many woman feel that's the only way to boost themselves up. I appreciate a book that discusses the use of hard work and core values (huh...imagine that!). Good easy read.
The Lazy Writer's Guide to Sarah Palin:
Having written "What Does Sarah Palin Believe?" recently, which is available on Amazon here-- What Does Sarah Palin Believe?-- I have a certain sympathy for Joe Hilley's efforts with his new book on Sarah Palin. It's a challenge to create a good book on an important political figure in a short period of time. Mr. Hilley's book is a disappointing read, however, filled with factual errors and broad generalizations about Sarah Palin, all of which leads me to the conclusion that Mr. Hilley knows very... more info
