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.”

Vance is a very confused person seeking faith. He grew up Protestant. Married a Hindu. Now a Catholic.
I hope he finds the One True Faith.

I would say he is a very intelligent person, with deep questions, and is seeking answers.
I agree. I hope he finds them. I read Hillbilly Elegy. It’s hard to believe he overcame such a horrible upbringing.
Every Christian takes a different path.
I left "the church" and my faith grew outside the bounds of a church and a denomination.
“I hope he finds the One True Faith.”
Please feel free to share what you believe that to be.
I would agree with this.
Please feel free to share what you believe that to be.
Here ya go...
I recall some years back some freeper(s) claiming Catholics were not Christian at all.
Excellent reply!
Sometimes his life looks like a guy who is checking off boxes for a presidential run, an early Middle America/Southern/Hillbilly book, changing from Evangelical to atheist to Catholic, marrying a practicing Hindu in a non-Christian/Pagan/Hindu ceremony, the handling of the children’s names and religion, Marine Corps service in a safe non-combat arms job, his personal story of his difficult childhood, Yale, law degree, Peter Thiel, now a book about Catholicism.
It might all be natural but sometimes it looks like an ambitious guy with no soul having a long term plan for building a modern, extensive, all-bases covered resume to become a president in a post immigration America.
Vance’s life in correlation to his boss’s.
Donald Trump was born in Queens, New York, in 1946, built a career and became a billionaire in real estate and business, became a national celebrity through The Apprentice, and then shocked the political world by winning the presidency in 2016. He served one term from 2017 to 2021, losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden after a presidency marked by major policy fights, two impeachments, and the January 6 overthrow of the government, and he later returned to the White House by winning the 2024 election.
He just did
No people are prayed to in Catholicism, except Jesus the Christ. Saints are asked to help, they are not worshipped.
Stop your f*ckin lies heathen.
Roman Catholicism
Doesn’t he have more important things to do right now?
