by John Kasich
First published 2010
John Kasich examines how a biweekly Bible study group became central to his spiritual journey. For over two decades, Kasich has gathered with half a dozen friends at a Columbus Italian restaurant every other Monday. The group uses biblical stories to tackle fundamental questions about existence, faith, and moral choices. Kasich documents their candid conversations about charity, justice, envy, forgiveness, and ambition. He shares personal stories alongside the group's discussions, exploring how they determine appropriate giving, handle earthly injustice, cope with disappointment, respond to hurtful behavior, and balance material demands with spiritual growth. The book presents their search for meaning through scripture and friendship, offering readers a practical approach to building faith and finding strength during difficult times.
