About this audiobook

Liberals love to hate Ted Cruz. The outspoken Texas Senator has a knack for getting under their skin. His quotable remarks - and even more, his principled stands on numerous national issues -- have made him a political lightning rod and the most googled man in Washington. 

There is a simple reason Senator Cruz has dominated so much of the national conversation. Since his election to the Senate in 2012 he has refused to go along with the established way of doing business in Washington. As a result, he has become a voice for millions of Americans frustrated with governmental corruption and gridlock. 

Telling the truth is a radical act in our nation’s capital - a city dominated by empty promises, meaningless “show votes,” and a self-protection racket designed to get politicians re-elected rather than heeding the demands of the American people. Cruz has told the truth - about Washington collusion, a corrupted political process, and the institutional barriers to actually fixing the enormous challenges we face.

In A Time For Truth, his first book, Cruz tells his story as a Cuban immigrant’s son who made it to the Ivy League, to the Supreme Court bar, and eventually the U.S. Senate. It’s a deeply personal journey that begins with Cruz’s father experiencing brutality in a Cuban prison and ends with Cruz’s discovery that Washington has neither the courage nor the desire to preserve the freedom and opportunities that gave hope to his father, and millions like him.

Pulling back the curtain on the backroom deals between Republicans, Democrats, and the lobbyists who keep them in office (instead of keeping them accountable to their constituents), Cruz offers an inside look at what has gone wrong in our nation’s capital. He argues that the need for change is urgent, and that the only way to bring about real change is to revitalize the Constitutional principles that made our country great.

It’s a book that will win Ted Cruz few friends in Washington. Then again, that isn’t why he went there in the first place.

    The beginning parts about his family history were interesting and insightful. The latter 3/4 of the book felt like a political hit piece just spewing red meat to the choir already worshiping at the alter of Reagan.

    Mr. Cruz does an excellent job of stating his conservative positions and made me wish to vote for him next time he runs. My admiration grew as he told his story and delineated his causes.

    An intriguing book outlining the life and career of Ted Cruz. At the time of the release of the book, Ted Cruz was trying to obtain the nomination for President of the United States for the Republican Party. I do have to admit I purchased this book the week it came out and began to read it right away. Due to my schedule, I didn't finish the book at that time, but this in no way was because I didn't adore it. When I finally was able to finish it a few days ago, I was delighted and saddened at the same time. The book a refreshing insight into D.C. politics from a real perspective, Cruz discusses in detail how he and a few fellow Senators/House of Representatives stand up to the establishment of the "Washington Cartel" to fight for their constituents. Cruz brilliantly begins each topic with an anecdote that leads into the relating subject of that particular chapter. Through this process, the reader is introduced to individuals in history not commonly known in a political book. As an admirer of the Constitution, I appreciated the chapters he wrote displaying his dedication defending it, during his time as the Solicitor General of Texas. I welcomed the chapters giving unique knowledge about many of the Supreme Court Judges. A book filled with observations from a man that is passionate about protecting America and its citizens from the rights given to us by our Founding Fathers.
