Former Congressman and bestselling author John Kasich breathes life and insight into the Bible so that its ancient narratives might resonate for listeners in a more personal way.
Kasich, a former Republican congressman now running for governor of Ohio, has written a conversational account of the Bible study he organized more than 20 years ago in Westerville, a suburb of Columbus. Reared a Roman Catholic, Kasich drifted away from his religion as an adult but came to embrace an Anglican faith after both his parents were killed in a car crash by a drunk driver. The Bible study's eight members, who meet at a local diner, have changed over the years, but most seem to share his middle-class presumptions. The biggest faith challenge for these men is a preoccupation with theodicy: how can bad things happen to good people? The answers are mostly commonplace, as is Kasich's reading of the Bible, in which all the major characters, from Noah to Paul, are faithful and courageous examples of men worth emulating. For Kasich, the Bible study serves as a kind of therapeutic way to wrestle with perennial questions about mortality. The Christianity that emerges from these pages is tame and has nothing profound to say.

Every Other Monday
Governor Kasich's Bible study group has met regularly for over twenty years. I didn't expect to enjoy this book so much. A lot of insights and practical tips about keeping a small group interested and interesting. Gov. Kasich didn't claim to be a "perfect" Christian, either. He wrote about his periods of doubt and tough times and demonstrated a curiosity about the Bible, a longing to dive deeper into the text.
