Riding
into the Sunrise
is more than a conventional biography about a good man. It’s
also more than a conventional review of Al Quie’s political
victories and defeats over three decades in elected office
as a Republican, including twenty-one years in Congress and
four years as governor of Minnesota. Rich in memories and
stories, it connects virtually every sphere and thread in
his remarkable days and celebrates his lifetime love of God
and allegiance to Him. In a time of polarization, Riding
into the Sunrise highlights how Quie’s idea of politics
continues to be radically different from mean-spirited and
bunkered types practiced too often by others.
