'Communion': Is JD Vance preparing 2028 presidential run with release of new book?

Source: yahoo.com


David Mouriquand Wed, April 1, 2026 at 3:38 AM CDT


US Vice President JD Vance is set to release a new book, titled “Communion: Finding My Way Back To Faith” in June.

The 304-page book, published by HarperCollins, chronicles his personal spiritual journey from Christianity to atheism and his eventual conversion to Catholicism in 2019.

This marks Vance's second book following his popular 2016 memoir, “Hillbilly Elegy”, which was adapted on the big screen in a critically mauled 2020 film directed by Ron Howard, starring Glenn Close and Amy Adams.

Buying or reading Vance's new book is the last thing I would do.

JD Vance's upcoming book on his conversion to Catholicism uses a Methodist church on the cover.

He likes the rich life provided by Peter Thiel and has convinced himself that he is presidential material. He is mostly an unprincipled opportunist. How does he rationalize his many lies with Catholic doctrine and the Bible’s many verses calling lying an abomination in the eyes of the Lord?

Communion almost has the word unite right in it. How do you unite us J.D.?

You are as usual the opposite of your book title.

He doesn’t follow a single tenet of his own chosen faith.

But, was it for a sincere reason if he comes hopping back to Catholicism to please Christian conservatives (probably won't because Evangelicals don't like Catholics) even though his politics are at odds with the teachings of Christ and his affair with Erika Kirk isn't biblical either. If he divorces Usha for Erika the Catholic church won't honor his new marriage, but Evangelicals will so will he switch again?

He has no core values that don't benefit his political and financial situation at the present moment.

he's abetting all our economic woes and all our lack of needed services that have been taken away. He's putting his stamp of approval on endless war and the construction of ballrooms. He no more deserves to be POTUS than Kid Rock.

Streiber's Communion was about his family's experiences with aliens, and actually pretty fascinating. There was an illustration of a "grey" (big bug-eyed alien) on the cover. One of the funniest things I (as a one-time Catholic schoolgirl) was a parody illustration of the cover, where the alien was wearing a holy communion veil.

I put more stuck in aliens than J.D. Vance having any belief system other than feathering his own nest.

"bastardization" (sorry, but that is the truthful descriptor) of Jesus' message with respect to the poor, the immigrant, war, and every other absolute of true Christianity--not to mention Catholicism, I'd bet your book is going to backfire on you, Vance. And it should.

is a faithful practitioner of Catholicism. I haven't gone to Mass in a longtime myself, but being raised Catholic, I agree with the Pope on this opinion. J.D.'s take on the subject in this book is likely to be inaccurate and hypocritical. Hard pass for me.

Donald Trump - an obvious con man.
