Liberty Counsel filed a federal lawsuit against the County of Wake, North Carolina, for its public library’s unconstitutional policy and its denial of access for a civic and educational program that included religious content. The library meeting rooms are offered free of charge for nonprofit groups, but the Cameron Village Regional Library’s policy discriminates on the basis of religious content and viewpoint. In fact, the policy specifically states that “religious instruction, services or ceremonies are not permitted.”

Liberty Counsel applied to use the library’s meeting rooms twice, and both times the application was denied. The library’s director specifically stated that she was denying the application because the proposed program contained a religious component.

Any policy that expressly prohibits meetings based on the religious viewpoint of the program is simply unconstitutional. Cameron Village Regional Library violates its own mission by denying the citizens of Wake County the pursuit of knowledge of American history, particularly our religious foundation. Of all places, a public library should not only understand but strive to uphold the First Amendment, rather than engaging in censorship. It is astounding that public libraries continue to have these types of unconstitutional policies.

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'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.
