Glenn Beck sees new project as 'most important' of his life

Go Glen Go!

$50 to a $125 for listening to a story or watching a stage show, a talk, or do we get to see a movie? Is it that good that it can compete with the likes of "CATS", a professional opera or a classical concert? But ofcourse only for the rich folks. Sorry, but me and my friends won't be there. I pay that kind of money to "enjoy" an evening and not for a tear-jerker. Financially, it must be his "most important project of his life."

Glenn Beck sure charges a bundle for a universal message that is supposed to come from the heart.

I am very impressed with Mr. Beck's financial and radio success. His method of layering religion and conservative politics with endless product endorsements and frequent weepy testimonials about his rebirth is a perfect product for Utah's entertainment starved population. I predict great success for Glen Beck.

A novel about a sweater. Sounds fascinating. I can't wait to hear if it was made out of wool or artificial fibers. Not to mention all the different color possibilities! Wow, no wonder they're flying off the shelves.

I was touched by what I just read. I too have a "biggest regret and greatest shame." It lives with me contantly, and that was twenty plus years ago, but unlike Mr. Beck, I can't tell my story, even though I think others can learn from it. It invoves a sexual addition, and a felony conviction, and how I arrived at that point,, and how the Lord has helped me through these times,and how I've come to love the Lord, and only wish to serve Him all the days of my life. He can and does change lives. I wish young and old could hear my story. There is hope!

Do read or listen to the "Christmas Sweater." We listened to the 5 CD's on our Thanksgiving road trip and laughed and cried through the whole program. Then Glen bears his testimony at the end which explains this "Christmas Sweater" as his personal story. I went back to the store to find the book and they were all sold out! Need to re-stock.

It sounds truly horrible.

On cnn he carries on like he's on fox; he might as well be there.

I watched Glenn for a while, but then realized that it was the usual self serving, self made man who is so critical of others who don't lean his way, that I turned him off.

Now he is headed for Fox. That's about par. Too bad, because I think 50% of his act is real and if he could expand that into compassion and love, it would be a great show to watch. His story is a compelling one, but he forgot to love all people and embrace Christ's teachings. He only loves those who think and act like him. Very small minded.

I hope his book and show are successful, though. What is does next on Fox will be the ruler that measures him into the future. Another strident voice? Another critic? Or a leader based on love and acceptance, like the Christ.

Time will tell.

Boy, there sure is a lot of "sour grapes" here this morning. Could it be that there is a lot of jealousy of his success? Seems as though whenever someone achieves some success in life there are always others willing to try to knock him off the pedestal.

Go Grandma, go! You are absolutely right about those who knock others who are successful. Glenn is a giving, honest person who has gone through a lot in his short life, and deserves everything he gets for turning his life around and for helping others. Buy his DVD about his conversion story, if you don't want to see the Christmas Sweater, of buy his book, but don't belittle this true saint who is trying to help others who are going through serious addictions and challenges.

to bad it is so expensive

Like the rest of his ilk, talk show Beck is just show biz.

Some people have never had a spiritual thought or feeling in their life and will never appreciate a story that has one.

TO Grandma: You are right. I guess spending all your time blogging while sitting in your parents' basement in your PJs doesn't do much to get you anywhere in life. Honestly, the jealousy and self loathing of many of these bloggers is really sad.

It's so sad how those who have no heart cannot see the beauty and the love in those who do. Glenn Beck really has changed his life and instead of being happy for him, some of you just pout. Be happy!

@ Ernest T Bass.
Try reading it or listening to it before condemning it for a change ET. Your comment here this morning is so typical of your ongoing analysis. I suspect strongly that you condemn it just because it is Glenn Beck, and anything from a source foreign to your thought track must be "horrible". Open your mind a little. You might find therre is much good in the world, even from the "other" side once in a while.

Your sour-grapes comment is accurate. Sadly those who try to tear-down anyone ore anything positive do so because they personally are so pathetic that they seem to only feel anything good by bashing someone else....remember the grade-school bully?

Glenn Beck failed but got back up after falling. These bullies won't try to change or help themselves get up....sad people.

And do you love Glenn who apparently doesn't lean your way? A strident voice, a critic? Are all opposing leaners just strident or perhaps are there some things that you too could improve upon? Not to admit anything, but could such critics be your "sweater?"
