In Go and Do Likewise, Beshear will share what his own faith has meant to him, how it has informed his family and his public life--and serves as a rebuke to how faith has been hijacked, profaned, misused, and corrupted by Donald Trump and other public figures. By regrounding faith in compassion and kindness, we can start to heal as a country.Go and Do Likewise takes its title from the story of the Good Samaritan. In the parable, Jesus describes how the Good Samaritan--a despised "other" at the time--stopped to help a stranger who had been beaten and left for dead and then calls on his followers to do likewise and care for everyone. Organized around the teachings of Jesus--stories of healing, of justice, of forgiveness, of welcome, of moral clarity-- Go and Do Likewise transcends politics to remind Americans of the values grounded in service and acceptance. It is a book for everyone who believes in justice and doing right by their neighbor whether or not they support organized religion at all.Clear-eyed, compelling, and unusually candid, Go and Do Likewise is a hopeful book by one of America's brightest political lights.About the author:Andy Beshear is a born-and-raised Kentuckian.
