Vice President JD Vance announced his book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” will be released June 16.
“I’ve been writing this book for a long time, and I’m honored to finally be able to share the full story with you all,” Vance wrote in a post to X. “‘Communion’ is about my personal journey and how I found my way back to faith.”
The book will be published by HarperCollins Publishers, which also published Vance’s 2016 bestselling book “Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis.” Since its release, “Hillbilly Elegy” has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
“The story of how I regained my faith, of course, only happened because I had lost it to begin with,” Vance wrote in a HarperCollins press release. “The interesting question that hangs over this book, and over my mind, is why I ever strayed from the path. Why the Christian faith of my youth failed to properly take root.”
“I’m glad I found my way back to the Church. I learned much along the way. But if you believe as I do, you know I’ve been fortunate and touched by God’s grace,” he said.
The book explores Vance’s conversion to the Catholic faith and what it means to be a Christian across all of the seasons of his life, including as a child, a young man, a husband, a father, and a leader.
“To summarize this book: I’m a Christian, and I became a Christian because I believe that Jesus Christ’s teachings are true,” Vance said. “But I didn’t always think that, and by sharing my journey I might be helpful to others — Catholic, Protestant, or otherwise — who are seeking reconciliation with God.”
Jonathan Burnham, president and publisher of the Harper Group, said the book “will speak to so many searching for faith, connection, and meaning in their lives.”
He added: Vance’s “deeply heartfelt story of doubt and regained belief resonates far beyond politics, offering a moving reflection on the questions that define this moment in American public life.”

But if you want to be serious about it:
1 Timothy 2:5 -- For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus
There is one mediator between GOD and men. VP Vance has said that he has a personal relationship with YESHUA, I take him at his word.
Every Christian denomination, and several that are, at best, quasi-Christian, point to that book and claim to follow it.
I hope he finds the One True Faith……..He has. Catholicism, welcome home JD.
Doesn’t he have any funerals to go to?
I knew that before you did idiot
Renowned “Star Trek” creator, Gene Roddenberry, was a
dedicated humanist, consistently disavowing organized religion.
Yet Roddenberry admired Catholicism as a “beautiful art form.”
Roddenberry himself has said the Star Trek program
was “the secular parallel to the Catholic Sunday Mass.”
Parakletos is a Greek term used in the New Testament (notably in John 14:16) to describe the Holy Spirit as a counselor, helper, advocate, or comforter. Literally meaning "one called alongside to help," it signifies the Spirit’s role as an active supporter, intercessor, and divine presence within believers.
Don't you EVER challenge me again you son of a bitch
Correct, and he endweels each Born Again believer, not those anyone’s into a Church. “ Do not be surprised when I say to you, you must be born again.”
Is this a rewrite of the Newt Gingrich book? Or of the Saul book?
