Product Description
GLENN BECK, award winning radio and TV host has been talking about "The 5000 Year Leap!"
Have you ever read a book which literally changed the course of your thinking and your life?
The founder's success formula, as presented in 5000 Year Leap would solve nearly every problem we have in American today if followed. This book will give you a feeling of confidence in today's confused world.
Once an individual has a working knowledge of the only correct and proven principles for freedom, prosperity, and peace, then other history can be taught from a whole different perspective. American History becomes a study of how the United States throughout its 200 plus years has either supported the principles of liberty and prospered, or violated these principles and suffered.
Can any other knowledge be more helpful to the rising generation in America today? America desperately needs better and stronger leaders. We need leaders who know correct answers and will step forward and make a positive diference in this world.

 Should be required reading for all United States students November 13, 2009
Angela Harry (washington,DC)
In my 34 years of reading just about every book I could ever get my hands on and make time to read, this is the ONE BOOK I have repeatedly sung the praises of and recommend to people constantly. People who don't love to read can get through this book easily and come away with a deeper, solid understanding of the roots of our Republic. My husband-while well educated and holding multiple degrees and a masters- does not enjoy reading for the sake of reading and he found this book to be an exceptional book, and quite readable. (Some things that I like a lot seem like heavy reading in his opinion.) I would be thrilled if every heavily indoctrinated college student had had an opportunity to study THIS book.
Clear. Straightforward. Qucik read. November 9, 2009

Well written book about the development of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Gives unique perspective of what was happening during the time of the writing and what framers were reading and, perhaps, thinking.
A very easy read and something that should probably be read by students as an introduction or others as a refresher (and quite probably an introduction) to the US Constitution.
Enlightening November 5, 2009

Excellent read. Every American concerned about the state of our country shoudl read this.
excellent context on America's foundation October 31, 2009
chris"in (illinois)
This book is incredible. It's very easy to understand, thoroughly, what the Founders envisioned and built America to be. The language of the 17th-19th centuries was very elaborate and those philosophers seem to carry on thoughts for minutes, if not hours. With the context this book provides and supports with modern language, it's very exciting and rare to completely understand not only the Constitution, Federalist Papers,etc...but also how their minds operated and the background from which they built their views/rules for this country. It appears, to any proplerly informed American,that lately politicians lack the context and knowledge of the rules the Founders formed the greatest nation ever upon!For a President to call our Constitution "flawed, inadequate, and a charter of negative rights" is absurd! The mention of the Supreme Court not investigating and ruling on a "redistrubtion of wealth" program demonstrates his ignorance on the Constitution granting the federal government ONLY THE POWERS NAMED AND NONE OF THEM NOT MENTIONED! If he understood the colonies and their beginnings, and early rejection of federal government as shown in the Articles of Confederation and lists of rights states demanded, which led to the Bill of Rights, in order to adopt the Constitution he wouldn't have allowed himself to be brainwashed into thinking America is a terrible nation and flawed by obsolete thoughts of "so-called founders." But it's apparent that most Presidents of recent times lack any substance, and even the smallest amount of knowledge of the rules by which they MUST FOLLOW. This book should be required reading for any student in America, politician or federal employee.
Amazing how much damage we've done October 27, 2009

After reading this book, I am amazed at how much we've picked away at our constitution. Some of the amendments have truly helped our country progress while others have circumvented the balance of powers. I have a much better grasp of the concepts which yielded our constitution now.
