by John Kasich
First published 2025
John Kasich takes readers across America to witness faith in action. A Greek Orthodox mother whose son has autism creates a network of group homes through her congregation. An Islamic cultural center director organizes a national interfaith conference to build bridges with Jewish communities. A church-based student counselor launches free immigration services for families in need. Kasich argues that religious institutions serve as the backbone of civic engagement, countering widespread cynicism about American society. The former Ohio governor and presidential candidate draws on his dual experience as a public servant and person of faith to demonstrate how churches, synagogues, and mosques nurture community transformation. Through these compelling accounts, Kasich shows that good work flourishes nationwide in religious communities. The book offers readers concrete evidence that faith-driven initiatives create meaningful change and strengthen the social fabric of American communities.
