Publisher Description
Narrated by the Vice President himself—an intimate account of why the bestselling author of Hillbilly Elegy JD Vance strayed from the Christianity of his youth and what led him back to faith.
Communion is a spiritual exploration of what it means to be a Christian in all the seasons of life JD Vance has experienced—as a child, a young man, a husband, a father, and a leader.
Picking up in some ways where Hillbilly Elegy left off, Communion recounts how Vance's pursuit of material privileges ultimately led him into a secular wilderness.
Communion reveals how Vance regained his faith and discusses his conversion to Catholicism, how his faith guides his work in public life, and how it shapes his thoughts about the future.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
J. D. Vance follows up Hillbilly Elegy with a thoughtful memoir about religious doubt and his road back to belief. Raised in an evangelical culture in a small Ohio town in the 1980s and ’90s, Vance drifted away from Christianity in his late teens as he pursued academic success and professional achievement. As his career flourished, he found himself wrestling with questions about faith and morality. In this candid and deeply personal account, Vance reflects on the relationships and experiences that led him to embrace Catholicism in his thirties and his beliefs about what it means to live a purposeful life. Vance examines his own spiritual uncertainty and youthful skepticism with openness and hints of self-deprecating wit. His growing sense of religious conviction and eventual conversion feels honest and hard-won, and his reflections on family, marriage, fatherhood, and public service add depth to his musings on belief. Vance’s conversational narration is well-suited for Communion’s intimate nature, lending warmth to his story of doubt and personal transformation.
