Vance's Faith Journey: From Atheism to Catholicism

0:00On March 31st, Vice President JD Vance is dropping a new book called Communion, finding my way back to faith, hitting shells on June 16th. It's all about his journey from losing his childhood Christianity to atheism, and finally converting to Catholicism as an adult. Harbor Collins, the same folks behind his blockbuster Hillbilly Elegy back in 2016, made the announcement this week. Vance, who's 41 now, says the real puzzle is why his early faith didn't stick around. He started writing this 304-page book himself back in 2019, weaving in some politics too. It's his first project like this since shelving a similar memoir idea a couple years ago. Folks are buzzing. This could signal a 2028 presidential bid, even though Vance says he's not thinking about it yet, planning to wait. Books like this are a classic move for hopefuls, and dims like governors Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, and Gavin Newsom, plus Kamala Harris are doing.

Conversion from Trump critic to Senate win in Ohio 2022, and now VP. The youngest since Richard Nixon in the 1950s. With three kids already and a fourth boy do late July, Vance's story hits on family and roots too. Keeps the conversation going on faith and politics as he shapes his next chapter.
