Good Day! Like you were apart of Pauls Havey's Life

This books takes you right into the life of Paul Harvey. The colorful writing of Paul Batura pulls you in and makes you feel like you were experiencing the times right with Paul Harvey. I highly recommend this book to you and your family. You will not put this book down.

You won't put it down

While growing up, the majority of my time at the breakfast table was spent listening to Paul Harvey. I remember my imagination painting a picture of what he must look like. As I grew up, I began to wonder who he really was. Finally, I have answers to my questions. This book opened the door to a man's life I ate breakfast with every day but never knew. I couldn't put it down. Not only did I learn who Paul Harvey was, I learned a tremendous amount about the history of radio. I became nostalgic for days I never lived. Batura's writing allowed me to become connected to a generation I admire and love. Anyone who reads this book won't want it to end.

Paul Harvey

I was so glad to see this new book. I am 66 years of age and listened to Paul Harvey every day. His broadcast came on at noon. He was truly one of a kind and was a credit to broadcast journalism. He was head and shoulders above many of the best commentators of today. He not only talked about integrity in our personal lives, he was a walking example of faith, humility, and integrity. God bless his memory. I found it sad (I was not surprised) that the media outlets, print and television, said very little about his death. I found one small article buried in the front section in the Baltimore Sun. I suppose today's leftist media didn't want to be bothered with writing tributes to such a man. This book will help to keep the memory of Paul Harvey fresh in our hearts and minds. What a man!!!!!!!!!

Good Day! is a great read!

I loved this book! It is not only a biography about the gentleman of radio, but it is chock full of radio history and even some U.S. history. As the Batura says, "Radio grew up with Harvey", and you will learn a lot of intersting facts about the medium while reading this biography. The author portrays Paul Harvey for the pioneer that he was, and he truly honors the broadcasting giant with this wonderful tale. If you want to know "the rest of the story", pick up "Good Day!". You will be glad you did!

'Now I know the rest of the story'

'Good Day'was just a delightful read.Especially after having listened to Paul Harvey all my adult life. Paul Batura brings Harvey's wisdom, creativity and incite to life!! Detail after detail opened a whole new appreciation for this news reporter. We lost a gem of a guy. And there are many ideas and creations that came from Angel. I did not want to put this book down because "I truly wanted to know the rest of the story!!"
