Good Day!

The Paul Harvey Story

By: Paul J. Batura

Narrated by: Paul J. Batura

In Good Day!: The Paul Harvey Story, author Paul J. Batura follows the remarkable life of one of the founding fathers of the news media. Paul Harvey started his career during the Great Depression and narrated America's story day by day, through wars and peace, the threat of communism and the crumbling of old colonial powers, consumer booms and eventual busts.

Whether he was covering racial tensions, terrorist attacks, or which vitamins to take, Paul Harvey articulated the American experience for average people making their way in a world too large for quick comprehension. Harvey brought them that world "in dime store words," with a deep sense of optimism, faith, and patriotism.

Featuring a foreword by Mike Huckabee, Good Day! is the only biography of its kind; Good Day! is Harvey's story, the rest of the story, as he would tell it himself.

Critic reviews

"Harvey's legacy couldn't be in more capable hands." (Dr. James Dobson, National Radio Hall of Fame broadcaster and founder of Focus on the Family)
"Beyond the story of a life well-lived, Good Day! captures the essence of this late radio pioneer. Mr. Harvey embodied our common American ideals." (Mike Huckabee, FOX News political commentator and former governor of Arkansas)
"Paul Harvey: a voice of reason, a voice of common sense, an eloquent spokesman for the America and the Americans he loved. Open this book and read 'the rest of the story.'" (Ben Stein, author, actor, economist, and journalist)

Paul Harvey-loved his show

This book paints a picture of the man and his life. Not much different than you would think based on his on-air presence. What a great story!

Very nice book about a gentleman

Bringing back memories of my life. WGN was on 24-7 in our kitchen. “A mighty tree has fallen”.

What wonderful story of 2 people - Paul and Angel.

The reader's style is a little monotonous but I still thorouhgly enjoyed the story of Paul, his wife Angel and the history of the early days of radio and Tulsa.

A true american patriot

A well written biography that makes me proud. Makes you see how much he really loved people. All students should have to read this to know what a american is

Paul is a piece of American history and truly a wonderful down to earth human being!

I loved it all! The behind the scenes story was just as wonderful as the story of Paul’s rising fame throughout his career!
