“Beauty inspires,” Tony says, echoing that all-important point. “It says to these kids that they matter, that society hasn’t forgotten about them… And it’s a big deal that, with our emphasis on literacy and other academic programs, those teachers are able to fully address the needs of their students.”
John Kasich is a national leader who has spent a lifetime bringing people together to solve big problems and leave the world around them just a little bit better than they found it. As the 69th governor of Ohio (2011–19), Kasich led the Ohio Comeback. In his time as governor, he established JobsOhio, a first-of-its-kind economic-development entity, and helped Ohio diversify its economy and create approximately 500,000 jobs.
Governor Kasich ran for president in 2016 with a message focused on unifying Americans rather than dividing them, championing the great potential of our citizens to make positive impacts in their own communities.Governor Kasich is the New York Times bestselling author of Courage Is Contagious, Stand for Something, Every Other Monday, Two Paths, and It’s Up to Us. Today, he runs the Kasich Company strategic consulting firm and serves as an analyst on NBC/MSNBC.
He is also a fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, and the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute.He and his wife, Karen, are the proud parents of twin daughters.
In Heaven Help Us, Kasich reminds us through gripping stories that faith communities are vital to healthy communities and our nation.
As Kasich shows us, faith institutions can magnify the power of an individual in ways that almost always exceed the expectations of the person who jump-started the initiative in the first place.
More than a collection of "feel-good" stories, Heaven Help Us reminds us of the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our fellow congregants and religious leaders that make it possible to turn our good intentions into even better outcomes.
Good is happening in our country.
