Communion

Finding My Way Back to Faith

De: J. D. Vance

Narrado por: J. D. Vance

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.

Insightful & Beautiful

I loved listening to this and hearing JD’s journey through faith. I appreciate that his faith isn’t something that he just inherited, but something he really thought and wrestled through. My favorite thing about this book is that JD doesn’t try to sweep the unglamorous or challenging aspects of following Christ under the rug, but he confronts these topics head on while still holding fast to what he believes. His relationship with Usha is truly inspiring, you can feel his love for her and that their union is rooted in true friendship - I pray that one day she will walk out this journey of faith with him. Grateful to have Godly leadership in the White House.

Inspiring and Relatable

JD Vance’s life story is very relatable to the hardships many Americans face who are not born into wealthy families and know what it is like to live in poverty. This book feels like an extension to his first and a deep dive into his spiritual journey. He reflects on life events that inspired his renewed relationship with God. The love he expresses for his faith and family makes known that his most prized accomplishments are not his political achievements but the family he created. The icing on the cake is that he also reads this book for audible.

Authentic Insight

As someone who appreciates Hillbilly Elegy the written book (read twice) the movie (watched more than several times) and then the audio book (I listened in 2024 b/c it was read by the author) I wanted to read and listen to Communion.
Just finishing I’m absolutely sure I will read the book sitting on my side table as likely listen again. I’ve suggested it to several friends as well.
I’m a born Catholic that married a non-Catholic and did my best to raise my 3 daughters Catholic. I am not in a state of Grace and feel convicted often. Listening has encouraged me to find a priest to talk to about trying to return.
THaNKYou!!! VP Vance for sharing your story. I pray GOD will continue to pour out HIS DivineFavor over you and your beautiful family.

Authentic and inspiring!

JD Vance’s telling of his journey back to the faith of his family exudes authenticity and JD also being the narrator is a huge scoop of icing on the cake! His realizations of his misguided motivations and hyper-fixations forced me to ponder my own priorities against the Word of God. Highly recommended!

Mr.Vance

what a deeply humble and brilliant man. I hope and pray that he will be our next President!
