Giles: If You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going
by Doug GilesEver since Hannah and O’Keefe boldly cracked open ACORN with their video expose of ACORN counselling dirty deeds on our dime, I’ve been inundated with emails and interviews asking me how wifey and I raised such a plucky kid.
Matter of fact, because of the insane interest in Hannah and what makes her tick, I’m brewing up a book on raising righteous and rowdy girls in today’s culture. Evidently, the Giles formula works. I think I’ll name it Contra Mundus Mamas. How does that sound?
Until that book pops on the scene, though, there is another option. If you’re curious and you would like to get a taste of how the weird Giles family rolls when up against a rock and a hard place, you should check out my latest book, If Youre Going Through Hell, Keep Going!. It’s a tasty and short read that’ll give you the proper piss-n-vinegar perspective to plow through the various crud life slaps us all with. Details below:
Doug Giles, popular Townhall.com columnist and father of Hannah Giles, who played the prostitute in the now famous nation-rocking ACORN expose, has just released a new book that shows us how to thrive when things “stink worse than a sundried manatee carcass.”
Giles’ latest tome, If You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going! (Bridge-Logos 2009) is for people who are experiencing a rough earthly patch and are looking for some powerful, practical and faith-filled answers to help them plow through life’s mud.
In this fast and funky read Giles points out that if you’re currently being stretched then you’re in line for growth and . . . you’re in good company. Some of the most powerful and amazing folks who have ever graced this globe have gone through prolonged periods of internal and external crud that wasn’t enjoyable. And get this: They actually grew—even prospered—through their pain.
Yep, they didn’t blame God or man, turn into atheists, start smoking crack or become bi-curious during their college years just because things didn’t go their way. No, they cowboyed up, saw their trials as a gift, embraced whatever discipline God/life had for them, exercised their faith when under fire, and through it all became holy winners and not haggard whiners.
If you don’t feel geared up for difficult times or you’re currently getting tossed around by life’s junk like David Dukes in a Lil Wayne mosh pit, Doug’s book, If You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going!, will prep you to plow through life’s dense fog via the principles of God.
In addition, this book will give you a sneak peek into the attitudes Giles instilled in his daughter Hannah to give her the internal fortitude to infiltrate ACORN and, along with O’Keefe and Breitbart, bring it to its knees and remain standing with unwavering confidence amidst massive antagonistic attacks.
Get ready to learn, laugh, become offended (possibly) and thoroughly equipped to milk the bad in life for all of its good.
Foreword by Maj. General Paul Vallely, US Army (retired).
$1 per copy goes to the Scott Vallely Memorial Fund, which supports our troops and their families.
You can purchase If You’re Going Through Hell, Keep Going! online at clashradio.com, amazon.com, and various other fine online or terrestrial bookstores.

Hannah is one awesome young lady!!
She gets TONS of applause from me and im sure everyone else. I consider her to be an American Hero for exposing how evil and corrupt ACORN truely is!
Many Many kudos to you and your wife, Mr. Giles!!
I have to say, I like Mr. Gile's snarky common sense attitude here. The title alone is good advice right from the start. I think we all have points in our life that can best be described as hell. It's always important to hold true and keep pressing forward. After all, if you stop, you end up stuck in hell. Who wants that?
Great! I will go pick up the book tomorrow because it looks like a fun read.
behind a good conservative woman there ought to be a good dad… i was blessed to have such. lets stand up for these values and bring real "life" back to these inner cities and poor communities. lets show these liberals how transformation is done, through teaching / modeling family values, LIVING family values, decency, honor and virtue. we do not need govt to do this. lets show them the real tools, not some pie in the sky corrupt ideology that abuses them like liberalism does . it is time to wake up and make a stand for what is right. let us not forget who gets the real credit here, where the goodness comes from, our heavenly father.
suffering is no fun, but as cs lewis has noted that strangely we can find something of utter value in the darkest times… " surprised by joy"..
I’m going to get that book
And when you write the next one, that one too!
LOLz my 'daddy' was a liberal, but I dont hold that against him
my mother thought it was an 'honor' to vote for BHO. NOW she asks me to explain WHY he lied so much and WHY he's not doing those things he said he would do and WHAT the hell is he doing to medicare! It's sad to see your parents bemoan their political choices at the age of 82 & 83 – if they live to see the next election – God willing! – I know how they WONT be voting.
You raised a wonderful daughter Mr Giles, and like someone else said: she is an example of what a fine DIL would be
if only my 3 sons would be so lucky.
It's David Duke, singular.
Not that it's a point of pride with me, seeing as how he's human slime.
I won't buy the book, but I'll sho' 'nuff contribute to the plucky Ms. Giles' legal defense.
(^^^^^Congenitally restrained from sending money to preachers…)
Congratulations on raising a great daughter, Doug Giles.
Doug if my husband and I ever have kids and the girls are half as together as Hannah is I'll say my work was well worth it. Well done to both you and the wife. Just knowing there are kids like her and James out there makes me feel better for the Republic.
Pastor Giles: Ultimately, there is no way that we can satisfactorily thank your daughter, and Mr. O'Keefe, for what they did, and you for raising Hannah as you did. Bringing Acorn to its knees was a mighty act that many a mighty figure had failed to do previously. It was miraculous. One way I plan to thank you is to buy your new book when it comes out. I have two daughters, and I'd like to see what you have to say about raising girls. There are a lot of liberal Latin teachers and students out there, though, so watch that title, if your are seriously considering it. You suggested "Contra Mundus Mamas." The preposition "contra" typically takes the accusative, and "Mundus" is nominative. I think "Contra Mundum Mamas," would be more grammatical. Do research that to be sure… Good luck with everything, and thanks again!
Why is it when an Corrupt Institution like Acorn is about to take over voting manipulation through out our nation a person like Hannah shows up out of no where. Why is it when Global Warming alarmist start touting how we must return to horse and buggy days, does the Earth show a 10 year trend of cooling. Doug Giles and authors like him have some of the insight that will shed light on these issues you face and show you what will work in your life. If only we chose to listen.

I love your name, JoanOfArgghh! The news so often makes me do that, "Arrggghhhh," that I totally understand your title! Or is it a battle growl? Or both? I share your admiration of Hannah Giles. Didn't it used to be scrappy leftist types who worked their tails off to topple institutions rotten with corruption? Now, the libs are the ones trying to "conserve" (meaning protect) what they have built up, and the James O'keefes and Hannah Giles's who are exposing the disease growing in the bowels of their behemoths. I suspect that this why O'Keefe won't call himself a conservative. Conserving the present platform is not what he is about. Smart kid.
Supernatural agency, no doubt. What else could it be?
I sure do feel important when I realize supernatural beings, the foe from below and the guy in the sky, are fighting day and night over my very soul. I sure hope the foe from below doesn't win, cuz I'd much rather spend my eternity with the guy in the sky.
Just kidding, supernatural agencies are imaginary.
Wow, I already tried to post a reply to you JOA, but it went "poof" into cyberspace. Mostly, I just wanted to tell you that I think your handle is clever. Also, to second your admiration of Hannah Giles. What a brave deed she and O'Keefe did! The days of the lefties being the one to expose deep-seated institutional rot are, apparently, over. The new "radicals" are on (and in) the right! The libs are playing defense. I think that this is why O'Keefe won't call himself a conservative. He is on the attack, not playing defense! So is Hannah Giles, and hopefully, so are hundreds of other new "radicals." Yipeeee!
Hmmmm.
A Call too all young parents to take the raising of your children in your loving hands. With the ethics of God and country in your hearts.
Thanks, 620! I see the admin-bot ate and then re-gifted your original post. LOL!
Well done Doug, Hannah is an American Patriot!
America can never fully pay enough gratitude to you and certainly to Hannah and James. It seems such a small thing to say, "Thank you"…but believe me it is from deep within my heart and soul…."THANK YOU"
I heartily second that thought. These courageous young people have given so many of us renewed hope. I am still fearful for the future of this country, but at least I now hold out some shred of optimism that we can retake our government and put it back on a basis nearer to our precious and wise founding document, our Constitution.
Thank you sincerely, Hanna and James. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.
Methinks luck has nothing to do with it… perhaps the better word is Providence!
>> "If You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going." <<
Yep.
And, 'How do you know when you're over the target? You're taking flak.'
God bless you and your family Mr. Giles.
Great work!
There are young people out there today who see right through the B.S. & hypocracy & thanks to James and Hannah for putting themselves on the line (they truly are, you know). Acorn seems to have tentacles into everything (the special on FOX this weekend showed at least 300 companies they are "associated" with). May the good Lord look after the two of them. Mr. and Mrs. Giles, thank you & to James parents, also. I'll continue watching intently. (Your books will adorn my conservative reading shelf)
I don't know about the futuristic heapings of hell, but I do know that we've all felt the pains of hell in the past eight years with idiot bush at the helm. But there's hope on the horizon. And as long as the good christian folks are lauding Ms Giles as an example of virtue and forthrightness in an entrapment scheme and thanking god, I'll second that emotion. Thank you god for Obama.
Mr Giles,
As far as I can see, you and your wife should be EXTREMELY proud that you raised a child that questions what it is that doesn't make sense to him/her. The very fact that your daughter did so is a true testiment to your excellence as parents…and I, for one, wnat to thank you! As for you, Hannah…you are such a breath of fresh air for every American, male or female…and I also want to thank you for your courage! God bless you Hannah, and "We The People" will not forget your efforts!
You're gonna thank God for Obama? Right here in front of the whole wolrd in cyberspace, you're gonna come trolling in here, roll out your prayer rug, bow toward Mecca in the east with your ass in the air, and thank Obama?
You ought to thank George Bush for preserving your right to embarrass yourself in a public forum.
Every sword is double edged Cowboy.
One thing the Liar-In-Chief has done is galvanized the opposition. Without him, we might have continued on trying to simply live our lives. The socialist drift might have continued relatively unchecked. We have a lightning rod now. The menace is at each of our front doors. And we are ready to fight. Thanks to the Breitbarts and Giles of the world we also know we aren't fighting alone. So in a sense, I echo Pam. Thank you God for Obama. We didn't truly appreciate what we had had until it was almost gone.
Thank God for parents who raise kick-ass women!
Well done, sir. Believe me, there are moms of boys everywhere who dream of such an admirable young lady being their DIL. There is a beautiful practicality in having an Ideal, and living up to it, and your daughter obviously has merited all the accolades she has garnered for her bravery.
My erstwhile Namesake would be proud.
.
.
You are correct.
Can I sing my praises now?
Allahu akbar!
Fun thing about going through hell, after awhile you stop caring about the trip because you know your destination is a much better place.
Though you should still avoid the scenic route if possible.
Well personally I prefer to use the names derived from the legitimate son of Abraham. But your right to praise (or refrain from praising) comes from Him, not me. So sing away.
Yes, right here in cyberspace, I'll proudly praise Obama and anyone else that has the common sense to appreciate an intelligent, patriotic, caring AMERICAN that show leadership qualities. You and your ilk are so ignorant. You still believe the rants of your party that Obama is a Muslim and all the rest of the hateful propaganda spewed out by their minions. And so what if my religious affiliations are different from yours? Does that make you better than me? Your life more valuable than mine? Embarrassment is in the eyes of those that scorn. But rights are birth given and none have been taken away! You and your kind are small minded, bias dots on the map. Again, thank you god, for our PRESIDENT, Obama.
Contrary to your rationales, Thinker, there is a great populace in America that does not think the Breitbarts and the Giles are the second coming. We live in a socialist world, like it or nay. SS and Medicare, try taking those two holy grails of socialism from the recipients. Don't dare call Obama a liar. WMD–remember that WHOPPER?? Waging war on a sovereign country. Costing 5000+ of our kids lives– plus while simultaneously bestowing hardy tax breaks on those most deserving of stalwarts, the wealthiest Americans, was SPENDING AND BORROWING for that ill conceived, stupid war, adding BILLIONS to the national debt. One last note, our side is galvanized too!!!
Only someone in deep error could look at what happened in all those Acorn offices and come away from it muttering imprecations against the two wholesome young people "entrapping" all those poor, hapless Acorn workers, instead of feeling justly pricked in the conscience for ever having supported such a fraudulent organization as ACORN. You have no regard for truth, Pam. Obviously, as long as it serves your purposes, it's anything goes with you. In other words, the end justifies the means, right? We learned where that kind of thinking leads us in Nazi Germany. Why don't you go live in Europe if you like socialism so much?
PA, I thank God you are so funny otherwise I'd have to take you seriously and that would be stupid.
Thank you. You raised a wonderful daughter. I will buy your book. I have already sent in my donation to the defense funds. God Bless You.
Margaret Thatcher said, accurately, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”
So, Pam, have you thought this through? What will The One do when he runs out of other people's money? And by "other people," I don't just mean the taxpayers of this non-socialist country, the US of A. I also mean the ChiComs (Chinese Communists) who are financing us on our road to absolute desolation.
You are a fool, as is every other Obama supporter. Call me a racist, if you like. I don't give a damn. I fervently despise Jimma Keeyotta, as well, not to mention Barney Fwank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi and a whole host of idiotic white people.
Yes, I thank Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, from the bottom of my world-weary, atheist, ultra-conservative heart. I absolutely do, unashamedly thank them both for their courage and insight. I shed tears from the pride I felt, after seeing what they'd done, what a difference they'd made. No shame here, but shame on you for your idiocy!

You do appear educated and articulate; yet with all due respect, Barrack Husein Obama is a LIAR. Joe Wilson was right when he shouted it in CON-gress, and it is still right today. There is nothing that anyone here can do to change your mind, it is already made up. Look at this link and read it s-l-o-w-l-y so that you comprehend and then come back here and state if you see nothing wrong with the way the current administration is run
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/pcourrielche/20...
I totally disagree with your viewpoints, yet wholeheartedly support your rights to hold those views. People have fought and died for you to have that right. It is not a God given right, it has been paid for in blood over the past two hundred plus years.
As to your last note, if "your side" is galvanized too, then the alternative is indeed bleak………….

You might think your rights are God given. You will sing a different tune when the imposter Obama takes them away from you. You espouse the Liberal Fascist Militant line, you are "entitled". Under Obama, you people will soon find yourself freezing, cold and starving, in the dark. That will give new meaning to the term "huddled masses." Good luck, you're going to need it.
I applaud Hannah with all my heart. She’s been a great role model for my 16 yr old daughter. My daughter is strong too, just very quiet about it. She doesn’t follow trends or go with the crowd. I suspect that Hannah was much the same growing up. It takes major courage to do what she has done and I only wish our elected officials had as much chutzpah as Hannah and James have. Good job on raising a great American woman.
Hey that is a great thought, I hope you don't mind me using that.
Just another Obamanic hear from, BRAINWASHED AND DEAD FROM THE SHOULDERS UP!
No Pam, rights are GOD given and the socialists ARE trying to take them away. If you would take the time to educate yourself you would also see the truth. If you cannot accept TRUE FACTS, then surely you are blind, and lost. Easily 99% of what conservatives say are TRUE. The FACTS can be checked and verified in many ways. However, the socialists are easily wrong or telling outright lies 99% of the time. Which can be verified by fact checking.
Ok, maybe not 99% for both sides of the aisle, but the important thing is to check FACTS and not just believe what you are told by some one you don't know personally and may have an underlying agenda that you would not normally agree with.
TRUST BUT VERIFY!
Like the majority of parents in the USA I applaud Hannah and James. They are role models for my children.
I would like to see them on the college lecture series this year since they will have a great impact on college students and members of the community. Living near Rutgers in New Brunswick I suggest making that part of the kick off campaign or will Rutgers prevent them from expressing their first amendment rights? Many moons ago I became a college activisit and sponsored the American Indian Movement to come to a NJ campus two years in a row. It was easy to get the $5K from the school to sponsor the speaker each time and I packed the house and raised even more money for the cause.
Hmm, Louisiana, where New Orleans and ACORN are, bashing Bush and (in other thread comments) saying we are a socialist country so deal with it.
Paid ACORN shill perhaps?
Thanking God for Barry? I suppose some Jews could have enjoyed that forty year wilderness trek after Egypt. Might just take forty years to pay off those Trillions of pork-laced debt Barry racked up too.
I am going to buy this book for my foster sister. She seems to think that everyone who has made a good life for themselves was given that life or extremely lucky. I try to tell her that life is a struggle and those that continue in that struggle are the ones that succeed. I hope the writings of Mr. Giles has better luck reaching her.
THC, we'd better synchronize our paddling, cuz we're in the same boat.
Having liberal parents means that you have to navigate on your own and make your own choices. They are still surprised by some of the choices I've made. I've went on to raise my nieces as three Iron Ladies (Their mother is a liberal, she couldn't be assed), and my parents can't figure out where the girls' determination and drive and optimism comes from.
As for Hannah Giles, while we were pointing out at the Emperor was wearing no clothes, she had, with unbelievable courage, gone into the palace's closets to show us the empty hangers. I appreciate what she and O'Keefe did very much.
How many of us are prepared to catch crooks red-handed, especially on such a large level?
Well, like it or not socialism will come to an end. No longer are we going to sit by and let "progressives" dictate our morals. No longer will we sit by and let them indoctrinate our children. No longer will we sit by and let them spend us into slavery. No longer. It's over. Move to Cuba if you don't like it. We don't care what "progressives" think. If you are not willing to live by the Constitution of the United States of America then you need to go live some where else. WE THE PEOPLE will speak, and WE THE PEOPLE will be heard and WE THE PEOPLE shall be VICTORIOUS!
To all those self righteous, pompous, judgmental, halo tainted Repub, who sit on their high perch, I am aware this is an ultra conservative site and opinions will be slanted against me. BUT, does that make you right?? In your eyes yes, not a mutual conviction shared by me. Just a comment or two. To the one who knocks the CHINESE , where do you think you get your everyday goods and wearables? Oh, I know, from the factories and off the backs of the dedicated laborer pools in this country. Ever heard of outsourcing? A term lauded by the bushies as 'good for this country'! But mostly, who did you think dudba was borrowing from to finance his illegal war? Like it or not, were beholding to them! As for heather and her pimp's rouse, it may be illegal. ( how did a preacher's daughter, the epitome of chastity and saintliness, get so astute at posturing as a prostitute–hmm) Yes, I'm from the ReD StAtE of LA. The home of that most hallowed of christians, Davy Vitter. (Remember the DC Madam). No, I have no ties to ACORN and I'm not defending their misdeeds, BUT I'm wondering where was your unabetted condemnation, when, those paragons of virtue, you know, those immoral scourges of Wall Street, were sucking the life's oxygen out of the economy. EXP: oil execs, banks, stock brokers, credit card co, etc.. The silence was deafening. We'll always have leeches and blood suckers living off of ill begotten gains. EXP: insurance companies. Avior to Christians, atheists, Muslims and to those languishing in between. Far be it for me to judge and condemn another mortal's spiritually and their eventual destination, when that right has not been bestowed upon me or any of my fellow human beings.
When you're this far down, the only way you can go is up.
