Gov. Andy Beshear in Conversation with Rep. James Clyburn: Go and Do Likewise

Go and Do Likewise: Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear in Conversation with Rep. James E. Clyburn

Join Gov. Andy Beshear and Rep. James E. Clyburn, Fri. Oct. 2, 5:30 pm, at Blue Bicycle Books. 420 King St., downtown Charleston for a hopeful conversation about reclaiming faith as a force for good. All tickets come with a signed copy of his Gov. Beshear's new book Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country.

In Go and Do Likewise, Beshear shares 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, Beshear believes we can start to heal as a country.

Whether you support organized religion or simply believe in the golden rule, this evening is a powerful reminder of the values that can truly unite us.
