The Rejected Stone

Al Sharpton and the Path to American Leadership

By: Al Sharpton

Narrated by: Al Sharpton

Lord knows, Reverend Al has had his personal and very public ups and downs, but he's come out bigger and better than ever—though the host of MSNBC's PoliticsNation is as fiery and outspoken as ever about the events and issues that matter most, he's learned that the only way we can get right as a nation is by getting right from within.

In his instant New York Times bestselling book, Rev. Al will take you behind the scenes of some unexpected places—from officiating Michael Jackson's funeral, hanging out with Jay-Z and President Barack Obama at the White House, to taking charge of the Trayvon Martin case. And he will discuss how he came to his unexpected conclusions in such areas as immigration, gay rights, religion, and family. But the heart of the book is an intimate discussion of his own personal evolution from street activist, pulpit provocateur, and civil rights leader to the man he is today—one hundred pounds slimmer, and according to The New York Observer “the most thoughtful voice on cable.” The Rev. Al you met ten years ago isn’t the same man you’ll meet today. And he has a simple promise: We can transform this nation and we can all lead better lives if we're willing to transform our hearts and transform our minds.

Great book and even better message

I enjoyed reading this book. This book has sound advice and principles for living a strong purposeful life changing life.

Who he really is.

Spectacular He told the truth. The whole truth. We must accept and own our individual legacy. It’s ours. Forever.

Excellent!

I found the Rejected Stone very compelling! There was so much I didn't know before listening to The Rejected Stone! From such a young boy to just a few years ago, the life lived is very inspiring! The narration made it very authentic! Looking forward to Rise Up!

SUPERB!!!!!!!!

I had no idea of his global reputation! This book should be required reading when learning about American history!!!

and you thought you knew

it was a joy to read; self deprecating, humorous, and poignant. The rev gives sober reflections of his life and times, somehow while not being preachy.
