Juanita Finley began her program by asking these questions: Are you a survivor of some unusual experience? Did it change your attitude or view about people and things? Have you ever been on a debate program? Did it change your view about things?
These are discussed in a new book by Elizabeth Hasselbeck entitled Point of View, her story of discovering what matters most. Many are familiar with Elizabeth Hasselbeck from the TV show “Survivor” and later as a regular on Fox Network’s “Fox & Friends.” For almost two decades she learned more about standing up for herself and her convictions; she strived as if she had to earn the approval of others and of God.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck grew up in Cranston, Rhode Island. She loved art and sports. Her parents had a strong work ethic with rules like work hard, be kind, be honest. She loved to set goals and finish them. She played softball, and with her dad’s coaching, she did well.
She attended Boston College where she met her future husband, Tim Hasselbeck, professional football player for several teams. He later left the field to become a sports analyst for ESPN. They later married and now have three children. During Elizabeth’s ten years on “The View,” Tim would often join his wife to discuss the latest hot topics, and filled in for any missing co-host.
