“This is one of the most original, intelligent and endlessly fascinating books I have read in years: it should become a set book for anyone wanting to know what truly makes America tick.” - Simon Winchester
“With a journalist eye and an adventurers spirit, Bruce Feiler brings his prodigious gifts of biblical analysis to a reconsideration of Moses as the essential prophet of the American Experience. This is an accessible and engaging book of indispensible insight.” - Tony Horwitz
“What a smart, original, and deeply intriguing reflection on the role Moses played – yes, Moses – in U.S. history. America’s Prophet is Bruce Feiler at his innovative best: compelling, sweeping and engaging. Highly recommended!” - Douglas Brinkley
“Fascinating and thought provoking.” - Booklist (starred review)
“Astunning collective portrait of an ingrown community with its own history, hierarchy, and traditions.” - The New Yorker on Under the Big Top
“Penetrating and insightful. . . . Bruce Feiler’s Dreaming Out Loud details the ins and outs of Nashville.” - New York Times on Dreaming Out Loud
“In clear, engaging prose, Feiler demonstrates how the figure of Moses appealed to Americans across political and religious spectrums. Puritans and freethinkers, slaves and slave owners, capitalists and communists, Mormons and Jews, gay rights activists and computer moguls have looked to Moses as a leader and to the Exodus narrative as a template for their causes.” - The Forward
“Convincing.” - Dan Gilgoff, God & Country blog, USA Today
“Based on wide-ranging research, America’s Prophet is an informative and accessible, if selective, view of American history as a reënactment of the Exodus....Feiler’s instinct for a compelling story and his promising message—that the story of America, like that of Moses, is an ongoing “narrative of hope”—keep the reader engaged.” - Jewish Book World
“Intriguing.” - Washington Post
