Provocative Commentary on American Culture
from Award Winning Syndicated Columnist
Gregory J. Rummo
 

FOREWORD by Joe Klock, Syndicated Columnist I have come to know Greg Rummo quite intimately through his absorbing prose, as will anyone fortunate enough to read this book, a delicious smorgasbord of opinion, insight, inspiration, warmth, wisdom and philosophy. He's that good a writer and that good a human being. Greg is, among many other things, an unapologetic Christian, a dedicated family man, a rooted conservative, a successful business executive and, as you are about to discover a very fine wordsmith. Whether his subject is death, birth, health, illness, conception, abortion, adoption, the weather, politics, polemics, the Ten Commandments, the Three Stooges, feasting, fasting, taxation, vexation, humor, rumor, religion, irreligion, pleasure, pain, his life, his wife, his "begats," bureaucrats, Missions, emissions, poaching, coaching (a whole chapter on that!), laughs, gaffes, peers, tears, the news of the day, blues in the night or other slices from the meat loaf of life, he displays an awesome combination of perspicacity, warmth and conviction. It is unlikely that you will agree with everything he has written here, but such is never his mission as a columnist. He is more than satisfied when what he has written reaches his readers, stimulates their thoughts and, be the Good Lord willing, motivates them toward positive action. If they are also entertained, so much the better! The "Author Information" that appears toward the end of this book will tell you the who, what, when, where, and some of the why associated with this remarkable young man, whose past achievements are likely to be eclipsed by those still ahead of him. But it is only by reading what follows that you will come to know Greg Rummo, a reward worth many times the cover price and your investment of time.                   -Joe Klock, Syndicated Columnist, The KlockWorks Product Details Paperback: 536 pages Publisher: Bookman ISBN: 1594533008 Price: $14.95 Foreword by syndicated columnist Joe Klock Introduction Author Information Order information

Editorial Reviews About the Author “Confidently recommended reading, The View from the Grass Roots is filled from cover to cover with keen insights, profound thoughts, and a deep and diverse understanding of the human condition.” -Midwest Book Review “[Rummo is] uniquely qualified... It is clear from the quality of his writing that he has been at this for quite a while. Plenty of exercise for the mind and soul.” -Willard Samuel, Adjunct Scholar at Frontiers of Freedom “The student of American culture, the patriot with red-white-and-blue blood, the parent with typical frustrations and challenges of parenthood—all of them will enjoy and be moved by Gregory Rummo’s collection of columns in The View from the Grass Roots.” -Don Wildmon, President, American Family Association, American Family Radio “Greg Rummo has intelligent and well-informed opinions on a wider variety of issues than any columnist with whom I’m acquainted.  He expresses those opinions in columns that are very well-written.  You may not agree with his opinions, but you won’t be bored when you read this book.” -Don Lindman, Editor, The Amy Syndicate “Greg Rummo is the thinking man’s conservative Christian.  He tenaciously defends his ideas with compelling prose and plenty of hard evidence.  Liberals, beware.” -Lisa Haddock, Former Religion & Values Editor at The Record The thing I like best about Greg Rummo is he's unpredictable. His columns cover a wide range of subject matter--from sports to politics, to religion--always with a fresh, down to earth approach. -Bob Price, Editorial Page Editor, The New Jersey Herald "Greg Rummo knows how to drive the liberals nuts. His pithy columns on a wide variety of subjects are anchored on the facts, and his opinions are intellectually honest and stimulating. It's hard to wage an opposing argument against a guy who knows the subject, his position and how to get it across through strong writing." -Dan Mc Donough, Jr., Deputy Editorial Page Editor, The Courier-Post "Rummo's approach to his topic is always thoughtful, clever ... never insincere. An honest person will enjoy reading 'The View from the Grass Roots.' " -Judy Lutolf, Editor, The Weekly News "Gregory J. Rummo writes with passion, conviction and a dash of humor when appropriate." -Fred Snowflack, Editorial Page Editor, The Daily Record “Gregory Rummo is man of strong belief and character who is not afraid to ’ruffle’ a few feathers. His style is both entertaining and thought provoking. I encourage you to take a read!” -Joe Pellegrino, Publisher, Life & Leisure  “Greg Rummo is a great writer and a great human being, facts that shine like precious stones in his prolific output. I have trouble not hating him for his talent and energy.” -Joe Klock, Sr., Author and Syndicated Columnist “Greg Rummo is one of my heroes. His book masterfully gives a cohesive view of liberal politics and biased media and the impact they have on the American culture. And he does it with engaging evidence.”  -Thomas Ciesielka TC Public Relations By approaching the latest public issues from the angle of religion, informed by Christianity, Gregory Rummo offers an attractive corrective to the assumptions often underlying coverage of stories in mainstream print media. His unashamed point of view can be infuriating...for example, to state his case, he often sets up so-called liberals as targets, then dismantles them by his arguments; it is a facile device. But there is much merit to what he says. And he is never mean. Which is high praise indeed. - Charles Saydah, Letters to the Editor Editor, The Record
