  <description><![CDATA[ <p><strong>GLENN BECK, award winning radio and TV host has been talking  about...The 5000 Year Leap!</strong></p> <p>Have you ever read a book which literally changed the course of your thinking  and your life? </p> <p>The founder's success formula, as presented in 5000 Year Leap would  solve nearly every problem we have in American today if followed. This book will  give you a feeling of confidence in today's confused world. </p> <p>Once an individual has a working knowledge of the only correct and proven  principles for freedom, prosperity, and peace, then other history can be taught  from a whole different perspective. American History becomes a study of how the  United States throughout its 200 plus years has either supported the principles  of liberty and prospered, or violated these principles and suffered. </p> <p>Can any other knowledge be more helpful to the rising generation in America  today? America desperately needs better and stronger leaders. We need leaders  who know correct answers and will step forward and make a positive diference in  this world.</p>]]></description>

This book will  give you a feeling of confidence in today's confused world. </p> <p>Once an individual has a working knowledge of the only correct and proven  principles for freedom, prosperity, and peace, then other history can be taught  from a whole different perspective. American History becomes a study of how the  United States throughout its 200 plus years has either supported the principles  of liberty and prospered, or violated these principles and suffered. </p> <p>Can any other knowledge be more helpful to the rising generation in America  today? America desperately needs better and stronger leaders. We need leaders  who know correct answers and will step forward and make a positive diference in  this world.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[<p><strong>The 5000 Year Leap: A Miracle That Changed the World. </strong>For many years in the United States there has been a gradual drifting away from the Founding Fathers original success formula. This has resulted in some of their most unique contributions for a free and prosperous society becoming lost or misunderstood. Therefore, there has been a need to review the history and development of the making of America in order to recapture the brilliant precepts which made Americans the first free people in modern times.</p><p>In this book, discover the 28 Principles of Freedom our Founding Fathers said must be understood and perpetuated by every people who desire peace, prosperity, and freedom. Learn how adherence to these beliefs during the past 200 years has brought about more progress than was made in the previous 5000 years. Published by National Center for Constitutional Studies, a non-profit organization.</p><p><strong>GLENN BECK, award-winning radio and Cable TV host has been encouraging people to read THE 5000 YEAR LEAP !</strong></p>]]>
