The Latest Book from Bruce
My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me
When bestselling author Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his leg, he could only imagine all the walks he might not take with his daughters, the ballet recitals he would miss, the art projects left undone, and the aisles he might not walk down. Though his daughters would have plenty of resources in their lives, they wouldn’t have their Dad. He decided to write to six men who had been with him throughout his life- men who could become his voice and his daughters’ Council of Dads. READ MORE

Moses and the American Story
In this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler reveals how Moses became America’s true founding father. Traveling through touchstones in American history, Feiler traces the biblical prophet’s influence from the Mayflower through today. Feiler visits the island where the pilgrims spent their first Sabbath, climbs the bell tower where the Liberty Bell was inscribed with a quote from Moses, retraces the Underground Railroad where “Go Down, Moses” was the national anthem of slaves, and dons the robe Charlton Heston wore in The Ten Commandments.

Glenn Beck: “If you buy only one book this holiday, buy America’s Prophet”
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009
I appeared on the Glenn Beck Radio Program this morning for a half-hour interview with Glenn.
Here are some excerpts.
“There are few books that have come across my desk in the last few five years… I can think of three that have been just powerful. That I know they will stay with me for a very long time. One of the three is America’s Prophet. It is the most powerful history… most powerfully written history book for perspective that I have read in a long, long time.”
“This is the best storytelling of history I think I’ve ever read.”
“The name of the book is AMERICA’S PROPHET. I’ve got four books out right now. But If you buy can only buy one book – well, buy a second one and make it AMERICA’S PROPHET. No, buy this book. AMERICA’S PROPHET. It is absolutely fantastic. And I have to tell you, Bruce, you made me want to leave what I do for a living and go write history books. Because I was IN the bell tower with the Liberty Bell. I was AT Plymouth Rock with you. I was IN the Statue of Liberty with you. It is a fantastic book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
