Review:
Leslie Montgomery has written an intimate and fascinating portrait of our nation’s vice president. Through dozens of interviews with those closest to him, Montgomery details the challenges and opportunities Mike and Karen Pence have faced and how their faith has guided them. The Faith of Mike Pence is an inspirational, unflinching, and compelling story for anyone who wants to know the truth about who Mike Pence really is as a Christian, husband, father, friend, and politician. For anyone interested in politics, faith, and the Trump-Pence partnership, this book is a must-read.

Christianity often receives a bad rap from politicians and the media. However, the basic principles of the faith, if practiced by those who lead our nation, could produce a gentler and kinder society. Christian principles demonstrated by the political leaders of our nation could go a long way in unifying a nation that has been blessed by God beyond measure and yet, divided by those who abuse our society with derogatory language and behavior. The Faith of Mike Pence demonstrates how such principles can be demonstrated in the life of one willing to set the example regardless of the cost. Leslie Montgomery has written an objective analysis of a life being lived by those principles, who is unwilling to compromise. Her motive seems obvious. Not only does she portray a life, but promotes a faith whose principles, if practiced, could change a nation. I have felt deeply honored to be among the interviewees for the book and even more blessed to have been Mike and Karen Pence’s pastor for more than a decade.

When Mike Pence walks into a room or steps onto a stage, you immediately sense that he is a man who walks with the Lord. You can see it through the compassion in his eyes and the confidence in his step. He knows who he is and he knows who guides him. There are few men I admire more than our current vice president. I would do anything Mike asked of me and I know he would do anything within his power for me. He is a man who is passionate about his family, his friends, his sacred charge as a public official, and his mission as a servant of God. Leslie Montgomery has intricately captured that passion and reveals the heart of our nation’s vice president in such a manner that it leaves you encouraged, inspired, and challenged in your own journey of faith. You simply must read this book!

A new book on how [Mike] Pence’s evangelical faith shapes and guides the vice president is likely to both cheer those who appreciate his faith and worry those who don’t.... Is Pence a modern-day Queen Esther, serving Trump for “such a time as this”? Did he jump at the chance to be—like a Joseph or a Daniel—a godly influence on Trump? Is he like John, the “beloved apostle?” Or maybe he’s a “paintbrush in God’s hand” to help Trump do the right thing, as conservative activist Ken Blackwell describes it.

Pence critics ought to read this account with an open mind. They might be surprised to learn about the human side of the vice president. (Russell Pulliam Indianapolis Star 2019-05-26)
I have great respect for my friend Vice President Mike Pence and the genuine values he demonstrates wherever he goes, whether speaking at a governmental briefing or surveying a hard-hit community after a natural disaster. He made a statement that touched my heart and shows his strength and conviction: “I am first a Christian, second a conservative, and third a Republican.” The Faith of Mike Pence clearly shows how our vice president’s deep devotion to God has permeated his life and motivated his dedication to public service. This book reveals the heart of Mike Pence. (Apostle Guillermo Maldonado)
The 45th Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence, is more than the president’s right hand man. In Leslie Montgomery’s biography The Faith of Mike Pence, we discover our VP is an affable, gregarious leader who knew he would serve in politics at an early age. And after reading her biography one might say he is the best man for the job.... The Faith of Mike Pence is thought-provoking and jam packed with compliments to the man who helps lead the United States.... This reader finished the book with a profound sense of relief for the future of this country. The Faith of Mike Pence is an inspirational book I’d encourage every American to read. A story of one man’s rise to the most powerful position in the world. And one man’s commitment to a sacred vow to make a difference to change our nation’s history.
