Mike Huckabee to visit Woodstock

Downtown Woodstock’s FoxTale Book Shoppe welcomes Governor Mike Huckabee on Friday, January 30, 4pm. Huckabee is touring with his latest book, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy while simultaneously considering a run for the Presidency in 2016. FoxTale co-owner Ellen Ward shared, “This is another huge event for Woodstock, Cherokee County and Georgia. How exciting to host the man who might be our next President!”

In God, Guns, Grits and Gravy, Mike Huckabee asks, “Have I been taken to a different planet than the one on which I grew up?” The New York Times bestselling author explores today’s fractious American culture, where divisions of class, race, politics, religion, gender, age, and other fault lines make polite conversation dicey, if not downright dangerous. As Huckabee notes, the differences of opinion between the “Bubble-villes” of the big power centers and the “Bubba-villes” where most people live are profound, provocative, and sometimes pretty funny. Where else but in Washington, D.C. could two presidential golf outings cost the American taxpayers $2.9 million in travel expenses?

Government bailouts, politician pig-outs, and popular culture provocations from JAY Z and Beyoncé to Honey Boo-Boo to the Duck Dynasty on A&E’s Robertson family. Gun rights, gay marriage, the decline of patriotism, and the mainstream media’s contempt for those who cherish a faith-based life. The trouble with Democrats, the even bigger trouble with Republicans, our national security complex, and how our Constitution is eroding under our noses. Stories of everyday Americans surviving tough times, reflections on our way of life as it once was, as it is, and as it might become…these subjects and many more are covered with Mike Huckabee’s signature wit, insight, and honesty.

At times lighthearted, at others bracingly realistic, Huckabee’s brand of optimistic patriotism highlights American ideals, offering a bright outlook for future generations. With a wry eye for the ridiculous and a clear-eyed look at the most controversial issues of our time, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy is Mike Huckabee at his very best.

This is a ticketed event at $30 which includes a signed first edition of the book as well as an opportunity to meet Governor Huckabee. Tickets can be purchased online at www.foxtalebookshoppe.com/events or by calling 770-516-9989. Walk-ins will be accepted while books are available. Ward added, “We strongly recommend pre-ordering the book from us prior to the event if possible.”
