And it begins....

After my trepidatious foray into the world of blogging, I feel like my sled has quickly taken speed and I'm making a lot of ground and quickly.  I am now through six episodes of the Glenn Beck Program.  My endeavor has expanded not to only catlogue books he has recommended, but also guests on the program, movies mentioned or recommended and sponsors.  Why?  Firstly because I used to take notes on these things anyway... yes, even the sponsor's websites.  But I think the crux of the matter is to make more available the opportunity to "do your own homework" as Glenn has often said.  Such an admonition seems to presuppose that effort would be made to go back and do research on the topics presented.  This is my way of actually being able to do that.  Now I have a list that I can go back to, in particular the list of books, to read and study.

This is an enjoyable process in an of itself, but what makes it 1,000 times more exciting is the hope that someone at sometime in the future with a similar interest of study or further review might be aided by this information.

I am pleased to announce that the lists are now easily reached by clicking the links to the side of the blog.  This has allowed me to continue making new posts to this page rather than just keeping the links at the top and most recent blog post.

As the oldest episode I can access on the Blaze TV right now is from 1 Oct 2014, I feel some urgency to make up ground quickly before more episodes are taken off-line before I can get to them.
I'm surprised how rewarding an experience this is.  Already the plans for other blogs I had once mused about now seem in reach and possible.  I can feel the anticipation growing to begin work on them too.

First post made to the list of Glenn Beck recommended books!

Well, I've finally done it, I took the critical first step to starting on the list of recommended books from Glenn Beck.  In physics the act of transitioning from complete rest to motion is enormously significant, no matter how fast or slow the ensuing motion.  I'm not sure the velocity I have started with is especially fast, but at least we are moving.  Also, I've already had over a hundred views since my last post. WOW!

Purpose of this Blog

Well,
I haven't a clue how to do a blog, I imagine this particular post should be in the "about me" section, but since I haven't found how I am supposed to update the "about me" section I'll write this here.

I'm a big fan of Glenn Beck.  However, one of the problems I have had is finding the books he has recommended on his show.  A couple of months after watching an episode I'll see something on the news, or something will trigger a thought and I'll suddenly want very badly to read a book that Glenn was talking about on his show two or three months past.  So how does one try to find a book that Glenn has talked about?

The first step starts with looking on "The Blaze" website for the book.  This usually ends in frustration as their 'Book' section is poorly designed.  It is nearly impossible to actually find anything because their index is by article, or by the latest group of books that they are advertising.  If you want to actually find something besides the last five books they have decided to advertise on the site it is pretty much impossible.

The next step includes the laborious task of finding the episode where Glenn discussed the book, watching it again, and then using that information to find the book on Amazon.  The method has actually proven more fruitful then checking "The Blaze", but it still has only worked once or twice for me.  It relies heavily upon remembering with a high degree of accuracy the week or month that the book was discussed on his show.  If you are not lucky enough to remember the month, it takes hours and hours to find the right episode, frustration mounting with every click.

So, after multiple requests to Glenn Beck's worldwide apparatus to have a list of books I could refer to without getting the results I need, I've decided to fill the void myself.  Yup.  I am going to begin the gargantuan task of reviewing EVERY episode of the Glenn Beck program on "The Blaze TV". I'll record the title, author, brief synopsis, and method to purchase every book that has every been recommended on the the program.

If you would like to help with me this task, please send me an email with the title of a book, episode/air date Glenn recommended it, along with the author and brief synopsis as well.

Cheers!
