Publisher's summary

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 reelected 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 US 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.

Exposed republican & democrat's Abuse of Power

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Shocked how republican leaders in Washington are abusing trust granted by us the voters. Results show why democratic & republican leaders are working behind backdoors to grow personal power & riches while lying to us to deceive us into voting for them. Everyone is now aware of how Clintons have been abusing our trust for decades, but Presidential candidate Ted Cruz's factual expose' show us why those who abused our trust are not held accountable!

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Time for Truth?

Compromise heart of Ted Cruz to get some positive gains for us was a surprise because the mainstream media & republican leaders keep lying to us by repeating democratic party leaders talking points. Day when Mike Lee & Ted Cruz stood up for all Americans against republican hypocrites out of Washington! Exposed what media hides including why so many democrats & Libertarians joined republican voters to support Ted Cruz!

Have you listened to any of Ted Cruz and Jason Culp ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Ted Cruz comes across more passionate before a live audience.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Find out how you are being lied to by both democrat and republican leaders out of Washington

Any additional comments?

Wish the voters could get the message from this book & Edward Snowden wikileaks so mass media would not get away with selling us out for corporate advertising dollars.

We need a man like Ted Cruz!

Inspiring story that is so similar to thousands of others this great nation has been a part of yet many today want to mock such stories and give away what it means to be an American.

I pray that thus country still has In its heart after this current administration the courage to take back the dream that millions have or in fact had that made this country the destination for freedom.

We must fight for our greatness daily and I'm glad I have Ted Cruz to help lead this fight.

Great book! Loved learning about recent history.

The book was hard to set down at times I wanted to keep listening. There is a good amount of history as well as personal stories. I am droid getting to know more about Mr. Cruz personally.

A great way to Self-educate!

I loved every minute of this book and realized how little I really know about our political process. Our founding Fathers would be proud of this Statesmanship and how Senator Cruz became one of the 2 leaders of Conservative Principles in the US SENATE. I highly recommend Senator Mike Lee's book on the Constitution also found on Audible.

Finally

What did you love best about A Time for Truth?

The guy is true American Patriot. He's unafraid of standing up for what is right according to his values, even if it means standing alone. He has and will hold others in office accountable for their votes and actions.

What did you like best about this story?

Proven record and he talks about actual events in Washington. Elites are going to freak out when they learn he blew the whistle on many items.

Any additional comments?

It's my sincere hope Ted gets the nomination in Feb. He gives me hope that the government may still be able to be kept in check if the right person gets elected.

I have a dream....and that dream is good.

Inspiring story. Excellent recap of legal and national history, coupled with more recent legal fights at the top of our nation's policy-making institutions, in a way that is clear and reminds of hope. Vastly different from the headlines of disaster and doom coming from mainstream media. Ted Cruz has a dream....a dream of America as it can be, under God and our Constitution, as it is written.

Truth will enlighten you and sometimes even make you laugh

Once I started it it was very hard to put down. This book will give you a real insight as to what made Ted who he is. It was also very enlightening as it filled in the blanks concerning some historical and political events. You will talk about this book for days after you have read it.
