#1 NY Times bestselling author and popular radio and tv sponsor Glenn Beck revisits Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.

In any era, great Americans inspire us to attain our full potential. They understand with conviction what they believe within themselves. They recognize that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense answers to the nation’s problems.

One such American, Thomas Paine, was a typical man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily simple and indisputable arguments, he motivated his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future-and, ultimately, her freedom.

Nearly two . 5 centuries afterwards, those extremely freedoms once again hang in the balance. And today, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s effective treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-party monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great nation.
