"To hold this range of beliefs in the palm of your hand is as fine,
as grounding, as it was hearing them first on the radio. Heartfelt,
deeply cherished beliefs, doctrines for living (yet none of them
doctrinaire). Ideas and ideals that nourish. You can see it in
their faces, in the photos in this book. And read it in their
words. I'm so proud that NPR helped carry this Edward R. Murrow
tradition into a new century. And so glad to have it in print, to
encounter again and again."--Susan Stamberg, special correspondent,
National Public Radio
"My father, Edward R. Murrow, said that "fresh ideas" from others
helped him confront his own challenges. This superb collection of
thought-provoking "This I Believe" essays, both from the new
program heard on NPR and from the original 1950s series, provides
fresh ideas for all of us!"--Casey Murrow, Elementary education
publisher
"Reading this gives me a feeling about this country I rarely get: a
very visceral sense of all the different kinds of people who are
living together here, with crazily different backgrounds and
experiences and dreams. Like a Norman Rockwell painting where all
the people happen to be real people, and all the stories are true.
It makes me feel hopeful about America, reading this. Hopeful in a
way that's in short supply lately."--Ira Glass, Producer and Host
of "This American Life"""
"Now, as then, when Edward R. Murrow introduced the idea of "This I
Believe," this forward-thinking compilation serves as a wonderful
antidote to the cynicism of the age."--Daniel Schorr, Senior News
Analyst, NPR, and former colleague of Edward R. Murrow
