About the Book
Book: The Faith of Mike Pence
Author: Leslie Montgomery
Genre: Biography, religious, political
Release Date: August 6, 2019
Several books have been published about Vice President Mike Pence, but none have touched upon what may be the most fascinating aspect of our nation’s second in command: his deep faith.
The Faith of Mike Pence offers an intimate look at the man who calls himself “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.”
Author Leslie Montgomery details Pence’s spiritual journey and examines how the vice president’s commitment to Christ has been a key component in his life as a husband, father, and public servant. Montgomery examines Pence’s encounters with politicos and evangelistic leaders such as James Dobson and Charles Lake. She shows the role of Pence’s faith in running for various offices, implementing faith-based initiatives, and responding to 9/11, the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the infamous Anthrax scare in Congress that directly affected him.
The Faith of Mike Pence is a powerful account of one of the most conservative vice presidents in American history, with exclusive interviews and insightful commentary from friends, family, and colleagues. It is a serious and moving reflection about one of America’s most admired and respected politicians.
The Faith of Mike Pence by Leslie Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
First of all, I absolutely adore and respect our current vice-president Mike Pence. I have heard plenty about him in the media–both good and bad. However, his faith is something that continues to amaze and challenge me. And for those who are curious about the “real story” behind the man, this is definitely the book to read.
To be honest, the only minimal complaint I have is that sometimes, the book does not flow as I would expect a biography to do. The stories are amazing. The biographical information included is accurate and referenced adequately. I appreciated the inclusion of quotes and anecdotes from those who know Mike Pence in real life. But I would have appreciated more of a flow in narration.
Notwithstanding, this is the book that will make the reader either love (or hate) him more than he/she did previously.
