Here, collected for the first time on CD, are selections from the original 1950s radio program This I Believe. Hosted by Edward R. Murrow, these essays were written by everyday people as well as notable historic figures highlighting stories of their personal beliefs and core values. Listening to this collection will undoubtedly remind you that although the times have changed, the concerns and contemplations of the average American are surprisingly unchanged, and that even during the most trying times, the human spirit and desire to be better is as alive as ever.
