From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy comes Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, an intimate and candid memoir by Vice President J.D. Vance about his spiritual journey, conversion to Catholicism, and the role of faith in his life as a husband, father, and public servant.
In this powerful new book, Vance reflects on the Christianity of his youth in the Ohio Rust Belt, his years of doubt and atheism during college and early career, and the profound experiences that led him back to faith. He shares how becoming a father, encountering the beauty of Catholic tradition, and wrestling with life’s deepest questions ultimately brought him into the Catholic Church in 2019.
Communion explores what it means to live as a Christian across all seasons of life — through personal struggle, family, public service, and the challenges of leadership. Vance writes openly about how his faith shapes his worldview, his approach to politics, and his commitment to service, offering readers an honest look at doubt, conversion, grace, and the search for meaning.
A thoughtful and deeply personal memoir, Communion blends spiritual reflection with the storytelling that made Hillbilly Elegy a cultural phenomenon. It will resonate with readers interested in faith journeys, political memoirs, American spirituality, and the intersection of personal belief and public life.
Perfect for fans of J.D. Vance, religious memoirs, books on conversion and faith, and anyone seeking insight into the inner life of one of America’s most prominent leaders.
