The Faith of Mike Pence by Leslie Montgomery Book Review and Giveaway

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.

 My Review:

After reading this book my first thought was, “wow, we need more men in this world like Mike Pence,” especially in the leadership in our county. Learning about our 48^th Vice President was very inspiring.

I enjoyed learning about his life growing up. Mike Pence’s parent’s made a huge impact by living out there faith before their son. That faith of following God had such a strong influence in all areas of his life. Not that he always made and did the right things. He shares how he strayed in his teenager years despite having a strong family and a great congregation. The book doesn’t paint him as a perfect man but a man who is trying to live out his faith in the spot light of a world that is so critical.

The book goes into his journey of getting involved in politics. At first his father thought it was a bad idea at first. Now his father is his strongest supported. The author shares Mike Pence’s experiences in Congress, as the Governor of Indiana, and a bit about his election as Vice-President.

I loved learning about his wife. Her faith and support can’t go unnoticed. I love that Mike Pence told her that, “She will be the second most important person in his life and Jesus would be first.”

The book is an easy and enjoyable read. It’s not a political book at all. I already knew what he stands for. Reading the book you can see that his love of Jesus is why he believes what he does. His faith being what it is in a politically correct world goes against the main stream leaders today is refreshing.

More from Leslie

 

In 2006, I wrote and released The Faith of Condoleezza Rice, know-ing it might be years before I published another book. My husband and I were undergoing fertility treatments and vowed that if I got pregnant, I’d take a few years off of working outside the home to raise my children until they were in school full-time. Well, I did get pregnant and we had two children in the span of two-and-a-half years.

In early summer 2017, with two kids getting ready to start school again, I prayed and asked God to send me a new book contract; it was time to get back into the thick of things. Two weeks later, I dreamt that I was to write The Faith of Mike Pence. The truth is, neither he nor his faith were even on my radar. I got out of bed and began doing a little research. I wrote a book proposal for different publishers and began to accumulate a list of people I hoped to interview.

My overall goal with this book is not to set the vice president up as a spiritual hero, but to show the heart of the real man—as a Christian, husband, father, and politician. In doing so, I tried to allow his own words and those of his family, friends, and colleagues tell his story while I served as a conduit to weave it together. My prayer is that it inspires, encourages, and challenges you.    —Leslie Montgomery
