“How does a man go from . . . pastoring churches . . . to running for President? [This] authorized biography tells this story in all its fascinating detail.” —The Pathway
For the first time, the former governor of Arkansas opens up the vault to friend and biographer Scott Lamb to tell his life story. In this thoroughly unique biography of one of the most likeable, influential leaders in America, Lamb covers the entire scope of Mike Huckabee’s life and career. With full, unfettered access to Governor Huckabee’s personal library, files, and family records, fans will finally get the definitive account of one humble man’s rise to political prominence.
The son of a local fireman in Hope, Arkansas, Huckabee began his time in the limelight at the side of James Robison during the early years of his television ministry. He hit his ministerial stride in the early 1980s, when he took the helm of Immanuel Baptist Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, from 1980 to 1986.
Most people, however, know Mike Huckabee as a politician. In 1994, he became lieutenant governor and faced the now infamous Whitewater scandal that sent then-governor Jim Guy Tucker into court to face felony charges of corruption and fraud. Huckabee’s courageous handling of the debacle endeared him to the hearts of many citizens, causing him to serve as the forty-fourth governor of Arkansas from 1996 until 2007. During his 2008 presidential bid, he finished second to John McCain.
As the host of the talk show Huckabee, he garnered even more fans, who will now have the opportunity to get to know the man behind the famous, reassuring smile.
