Features & Highlights

  • When former Ohio governor John Kasich ran for president, his powerful message of hope and togetherness struck a chord with American voters. In
  • Two Paths: America Divided or United
  • , he carries that message forward by reflecting on the tumultuous 2016 campaign, sharing his concerns for America and his hopes for our future, and sounding a clarion call to reason and purpose, humility and dignity, righteousness and calm.“The country never looked so grand and magnificent as it did from ten thousand feet,” he writes of his time on the campaign trail, “and it was always a thrilling, faith-affirming thing to look out our window and see the sun splashing across Bryce Canyon in Utah, or the lights of the New York skyline at night as we flew past the Statue of Liberty, or an open field in the heartland that ran as far as our eyes could see.... I’d look out and think what an honor it would be to lead this great nation, what a blessing.”To be sure, the full story of the 2016 Presidential race will be written over time, but to understand what it was to be on the front lines of one of the most divisive and corrosive campaign battlegrounds in history, readers won’t find a richer, more thoughtful firsthand account than this one―a frank, refreshing assessment of the American dynamic and a clear path we might follow toward a more promising tomorrow.As former governor Kasich reminds us in these pages, America is great because America is good―and because Americans have stayed true to who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible.

It wasn't a game for him

A touchingly personal and soul-baring account by the last person standing (even if just for a day) against the ultimate GOP nominee. Much of the content reflects the same familiar stories related and the same message conveyed by John Kasich during the campaign trail in his uniquely intimate Town Halls across the country, but there are a few new insights.

Of special interest to those who followed his campaign more closely than most will be conversations he had with Ted Cruz near the end of the primaries, as well as confirmation of discussions that took place between the Trump camp and the Kasich camp, and the events that led up to the suspension of his campaign and Kasich's deeply personal recollection of that day.

This plainly written book closes with a sweet touch: letters exchanged between Kasich and his daughters.

Two Paths affirms that the John Kasich we saw standing his ground during the 2016 Election -- resisting the rancor, refusing to get down in the mud, seeking the higher ground -- is the real deal, not some "holier than thou" politician. He truly is "one of us," as his campaign slogan asserted.

John Kasich was in the presidential race to win. He was in the race to help America. It was not a game for him. He could not endorse Donald Trump because, as his daughter Reese explained, it would have compromised his integrity. Let's hope America gives John Kasich a second chance when the time is right.

We took the path less traveled. Time to turn around.

I'm delighted to have this book from the man who I hope will give us a second chance to elect him President.

Just finished #TwoPathsBook. It's filled with inspiration and hope and I truly enjoyed it. I for one choose to live in Kasich's vision of America and not the hate filled one so many seem to buy into.

" A great look behind the scenes of the 2016 campaign

Read this book and learn why Ohio Governor John Kasich should have been our President. He puts country above party and fights for "the little guy." A great look behind the scenes of the 2016 campaign; he reflects on the coarseness of political discourse in our country now and how it harms us all. He speculates that it will take a long time to turn around the divisiveness, but he will be out there pushing for it, whether holding office or not. An excellent read.
