Publisher Description
In 1978, John Kasich embarked on a political journey that would take him from the Ohio State Senate to the highest reaches of government and a run at the White House. Along the way, he became known for his no-nonsense style, his unsinkable work ethic, and his unflagging belief in God. In 1988, Kasich embarked on another, more personal journey—this time in the company of a half-dozen friends and a Methodist minister who banded together to form a Bible study group in Columbus, Ohio. Through their heated, passionate, sometimes irreverent, and always affectionate exchanges, Kasich and his friends worked their way through the tough questions: What is the meaning of life? Who is God? How should we live our lives? Covering such universal themes as vanity, integrity, and ambition, Kasich breathes life and insight into the Bible so that these ancient narratives might resonate for listeners in a more personal way.

"This is a wonderful book, and we will give some as gifts. John Kasich describes the genesis of his Bible study group, and the ensuing 20 years of the gatherings. Lots of food for thought, and some very helpful suggestions on how to view an issue--and to examine it from each and every side. "

" Had great potential but could've been much more applicable to others rather than just being a memoir. "

" I picked this up because I am in a women's group at church. The relationships were interesting, but too much time was spent on them and not enough information about their discussions. Some enjoyable and memorable parts, though. "

" A book written by the now Governor of Ohio. It is about a group of men (Kasich included) who meet every other Monday for a bible study and have done so for 20 years. "

" I kept hearing about this book and how good it was..... maybe it was all the hype but it didn't seem as fabulous to me as everyone said. It is refreshing to hear this Public Servant discuss issues of faith and how he incorporated this into his life. "

" God's Hand....Man's Free Will...and everything in between...Is there a GOD discussed thru FAITH, FREINDSHIP, and FELLOWSHIP...Dark Nights of the Soul was very enlightening and provides that answer when one demands "Why ME...How could God let this happen"...GOOD READ!!!! "

" The fact that this group of men came together on their own for Bible study intrigued me. They are of different churches, even different denominations, and don't always agree theologically. But they have formed a strong bond and grown in their faith by studying God's Word together. "
