Summary: "Mike Pence spent more hours in the Oval Office than any of his predecessors. On the surface, the affable evangelical Christian from a gas-station-owning family in Indiana wouldn't seem to have much in common with a brash real estate mogul from New York. But the unlikely duo formed a tight bond. Pence was at Donald Trump's side when he enacted historic tax relief, when he decided to take more assertive stances toward China and North Korea, and when he appointed three Supreme Court justices. But the relationship broke down after the 2020 election. On January 6, 2021, as the president pressured him to overturn the election, a mob erected a gallows on Capitol Hill and its members chanted 'Hang Mike Pence!' as they rampaged through the halls of Congress. The vice president refused to leave the Capitol, and once the riot was quelled, he reconvened Congress to complete the work of a peaceful transfer of power. So Help Me God is the chronicle of the events and people who forged Mike Pence's character and led him to that historic moment. His father, a Korean War combat veteran, was a formidable influence, but so was the Indiana history professor who inspired his devotion to the Constitution. And it was in college and law school that he embraced his Christian faith and met the love of his life, Karen--the two pillars that support him every day. You will read how his early political career was full of missteps that humbled him and how, as a talk radio host, Pence found his voice and the path that led him to Congress, the governor's office in Indiana, and back to Washington as vice president."--Dust jacket flap

Prelude
Climb your own mountain
Bends in the river
The beautiful brunette with the guitar
Reaching for dreams, enduring loss
Done dreaming
Time to serve
The War on Terror begins
Defending limited government
Life and liberty
Closer to home
Take it around the block and see what it can do
Doing the right thing the right way
Lessons learned defending religious freedom
Changing direction
"Mike, it's gonna be great!"
Hoosier, hummingbird, and harmony
"Knock the cover off the ball"
"That doesn't look like second place to me"
Dead sprint
With my right hand raised
Be informed, be prepared, be of service
And so it begins
America first, not America alone
The Hermit Kingdom
The summer of Russia
New frontiers
Repeal and replace
Fire and unexpected fury
Stay and fight
Promises kept
On a foundation of faith
Maximum pressure
Heal our land
Blessed
Peace begins with strength
Righteous indignation
Dialogue is good
Go fix this
Changing of the guard and walking in the ruins of evil
No collusion, no obstruction
Onward and upward
Trade and travel
A less-than-perfect phone call
A cease-fire and justice served
History shows up
Only in America
Overcome evil by doing good
Running the race
Here we go
Standing firm
So help me God
The calm after the storm
