For a quarter of a century, John Kasich has championed ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things.   
Though probably best-known for his time in politics—18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, a two-term governor of Ohio, and runs for the presidency in 2000 and 2016—Kasich is also the author of several books which share a common theme: the power of the individual and of faith to shape change in America.
