INDYSTAR:
“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.”

INDIANA POLICY REVIEW:
Book Review By Cecil Bohannon:
“Leslie Montgomery’s new book The Faith of Mike Pence
will likely be panned by many reviewers as a ‘puff piece’
biography designed to flatter the sitting Vice-President
and his core of evangelical Christian supporters. This
is a mistake…the purpose of her book is not to persuade
the reader to agree with Pence’s positions—political or
religious. Rather it is to document one man’s spiritual
journey—from his mother’s womb to the present day. To
this end it succeeds splendidly. Pence’s harshest critics
will understand the man better after reading the book as
will his most ardent fan and the many others in between.”

"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. It’s 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!!"

"Vice President Mike Pence is a man worth writing about, reading about, and learning from. Leslie has managed
to pull back the curtain on the faith of the Pence family with inspirational true stories that will fortify and
embolden every reader to stand strong in his or her faith with courage and joy. If you are a father, read this
book and be encouraged. If you are a husband, open the pages and see how to be a godly husband who loves
his wife like Jesus loves us. And if you feel called to be involved in politics, this book will prepare you in
a unique way to go forward with a steady gait."

"Leslie Montgomery has done the nation a great service by introducing Americans to the real Mike Pence
and his life’s partner, Karen. The Faith of Mike Pence lets the reader see the true man of faith behind
the headlines—the dedicated Christian, husband, father, and patriot—that those of us who have
had the privilege of working with him over the years have always known him to be. Mike Pence is
indeed a man of absolute integrity who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk."

"Reading The Faith of Mike Pence is more of an experience rather than a recounting of events and information. Through her creative ability to organize countless first-hand interviews into a seamless narrative,
Leslie Montgomery has chronicled decades of Mike Pence’s life to provide insight into how his faith and
personal relationship with Jesus Christ has molded and shaped his heart and character to become a man
who loves and serves God with all his heart, mind, soul and strength. At times the reader almost feels present
in-the-moment as Mike’s Spirit-filled faith and life is revealed through stories illustrating Mike’s integrity,
priorities, difficult choices, mistakes, patience, kindness, humility, generosity, spiritual growth, disciplines
and prayer life. Through life events, Leslie allows us to see Mike and Karen model a godly marriage
characterized by an unbreakable bond of love, commitment and partnership. You will be encouraged,
challenged, enriched and blessed by this inspired classic."

“Perhaps no one since John Kennedy have the misinformed and politically prejudiced attacked a
public figure’s faith as much as has been experienced by Mike Pence. Leslie Montgomery’s book is one
of the few profiles to portray Pence’s faith story in a fair manner. Unlike other accounts, Montgomery uses the testimonies of many who know him the best, not those with political or personal agendas.”

“Mike Pence wields enormous influence – perhaps more than any previous Vice President.
Montgomery has been able to peer into the world view of the man who is a heart-beat away from
becoming President and use that vantage to draw a lucid and insightful portrait of the man, his faith,
and his vision for America. A must read for anyone interested in 21st century American politics.”

"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 national 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."

"There has never been a vice president like Mike Pence in the history of the United States, and I believe there will never be one like him again. He is a man of true conviction, if there ever was one. Most men check their faith at the door, but not Mike. Whether he is at home, at a peace summit halfway across the world or the Oval Office, his faith
informs everything he does. America is blessed to have him as our vice president — and we are blessed to get a glimpse of this side of his extraordinary life through Leslie Montgomery’s The Faith of Mike Pence.”

"Since President Trump picked Pence as his running mate, the media has caricatured Mike Pence so badly I
hardly recognize him. As one who has known the Vice President since 1994, I can confidently say that Leslie Montgomery has accurately depicted the real Mike Pence. If you want to know the heart of the man who is
a heartbeat away from the presidency, you need to read Montgomery’s account of the Faith of Mike Pence."

“The Faith of Mike Pence provides deep insight into the formative role Mike Pence’s faith has played,
not just in his journey to the Vice Presidency, but in how he lives his life on a daily basis.
During the years that I worked for him, Mike was never ashamed of the gospel, and that comes
through clearly in Leslie’s well-researched and clearly-written book. I highly recommend The Faith of
Mike Pence to anyone who wants to understand the central role that Vice President Pence’s personal
relationship with Christ has played from the time he was a young man, and how it impacts his decisions today.”

"There are some in the nation who call Mike Pence a zealot and a theocrat, but they don't know him like I do.
He is a man of integrity who lives by the principles of his faith in government where many are more comfortable
with politicians who use religion to sway votes. From Pence's rich, spiritual heritage as an Irish, Roman Catholic
born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, to becoming a born-again Christian and leading our nation as our vice president, Leslie Montgomery hasn't missed a beat. If you've been as curious about our vice president's faith and his life as a husband, father, and leader as the rest of the nation has been, then I insist that this book is a must read!"

"I've known Mike since he was relatively unknown in the community, and I can say with certainty that he's
the same man today as he was then; a man of faith, integrity, and fortitude. Reading The Faith of Mike Pence
gave me tremendous insight into both Mike and Karen through the stories others shared including those by
the Pence family. If you're someone who is curious as to how this simple couple from the mid-west
developed their faith, values, and the leadership skills to guide our nation, this book is a tremendous read."

to lead to the degree that he is willing to serve. This encompasses Mike Pence."

"I hope that every American who is turned off by bare knuckle, negative politics will read Leslie Montgomery’s wonderful book about Vice President Pence’s pure motives, solid values, and personal humility. This book
is a “must read” for Christians who feel a call to seek public office or who currently serve in an elective
capacity. For them, it is more than a profile of a man who holds the second highest office in the land. They
will be encouraged and inspired by this book. It will serve as an invaluable road map for how they
should maintain and reflect a strong Christian witness in the rough and tumble profession that they
have chosen. The author cites a large number Bible versus in this book, all of which are appropriate to
the text. Another I would add is Romans 1:16: I am not ashamed of the Gospel!"

“Finally — a book that gets to the crux of the misrepresented ‘feud’ between Vice President Pence and the LGBT community. Through interviews with key staff members, family, friends, and close associates,
Leslie Montgomery has proven that from day one, Mike Pence has been a vice president for all Americans.”

I have known Mike Pence for almost 25 years. We share the same passion and values for faith, family, conservative causes, and servanthood for our nation. We have a lot in common. While I served the Body of Christ as a pastor, Mike Pence was considering the priesthood. When I became a servant for our country as Lt. Governor, then as Governor of Arkansas, Mike Pence was a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana. We both have three children and wives that have stood the test of time as faithful companions and prayer warriors. Most importantly, when we’ve both faced what seemed at the time as insurmountable circumstances in our lives, we’ve both turned to God for His support, encouragement and strength and matured in our faith as a result.
Mike Pence is not a politician who wears his faith on his sleeve. He wears it in his heart and soul. He is a man who seeks and desires to do God’s will in every area of his life. While many politicians claim faith as a badge to sway votes or to impress a group of pastors or evangelicals, Mike Pence stands out as the real deal; a man who says what he means and means what he says. His heart for God is evident in his pro-life stance, in his advocacy for Israel, and other policies he boldly fights for. You never have to question where he stands on an issue because it’s always from a biblical worldview. I am proud to call him our nation’s Vice President, a friend, and my brother in Christ.
Within these pages Leslie Montgomery has painted an exquisite picture of the real Mike Pence that is seldom if ever reported upon by media. In interviews with his family, friends, colleagues, and even those who are on the other side of the aisle, Montgomery has shown us his proud Roman Catholic roots, the young dreamer he grew up to be in a loving home, the struggling young man seeking to find himself in college, the fallible man seeking redemption through faith, the ambitious side of politics, and the spiritual journey that ultimately led him to be our Vice President. There is no other book out there that captures the truth behind all of these moments in time in the life of Vice President Mike Pence.

There will always be something bigger than ourselves. Naturally, at some point in our lives, we seek answers to the things we can’t understand. This is especially true when we are facing challenges that seem impossible to overcome.
God knows all about it, which is why He gave us the Bible. The scripture, with all of His teachings, will serve as our guide to life. All the answers are in the book. That’s why we at Leslie Montgomery Ministries set out on the journey to share its content in different ways, including books, talks, and other related programs.

“
Condoleezza Rice is a rare gem in the political world. I have always respected her and wished she wasn't discontinuing her role in our government. The book gives a real picture of her heritage and her growing up years, which is very interesting. As well, the last chapter of her faith today is my favorite.
- Jay Culpepper
”
“
Although I came across this book outside my Amazon purchases, I highly recommend Montgomery's thoughtful and insightful approach to Condoleezza Rice's background. Montgomery invites her reader to enter Condi's world, understand life from her perspective, see how she came to choose wisely, and appreciate her dogged determination.
There is a timeless quality to the story of Condi's faith well beyond her Bush Administration service to the nation. Perhaps because of her faith story, Ms. Rice is an Esther figure to the present day - born for such a time as this.
Thank you, Leslie Montgomery, for sharing our former Secretary of State with us as meticulously as you have, for you have blessed us.

Leslie's interview with these women was completely awesome. The stories these women were willing to tell of their lives and how God inspired, touched and led them through their hardships is truly amazing.
This book has definitely opened my eyes to not only the miracles of God but also into the lives of real women and with real problems just as we all have. It has helped me in my daily struggles as well to know there are others out there that have made it through similar troubles and experiences I have and am continuously going through as well.
The stories portrayed in this book have definitely opened my eyes to the inner workings of a woman's mind and how they look at life and God. I have had several questions concerning women's thought patterns in certain areas such as homosexuality, sexual and physical abuse and the stories these women have told of their lives, struggles and how they got through them through their faith and with the grace of God is truly inspiring and a miracle to say the least.
My heart goes out to each and every one of them and I pray that they continue their walk with God and that they continue to receive God's blessings.

I met author Leslie Montgomery at the CBA/International Christian Bookseller's Convention where she was signing copies of the book. I got in line because I like collecting autographed books by authors. I had no idea the treasure I'd found. I put the book in my purse so on the flight back to Miami I'd have something to read - I couldn't put the book down; I cried so much as I read the story about the couple who lost their son Matthew, but I was encouraged by their faith in God. I lost my son two years ago. I know what it is like. Thank you for sharing your story and thank the author for writing it down. I'm buying copies for my book store immediately. I highly reccomend this book to anyone going through a hard time. I pray that the author keeps writing books like this.

I was really encouraged by all the many stories of triumph in this book. Women I look up to who have had difficultly in life. I see them and I think they have had an easy life and that's why they're leaders and influencial, but they haven't. They've overcome through their faith and it gives me hope that I can too. I keep my copy in my bathroom and rarely a person who uses it doesn't come out commenting on one of the stories. It would be a great book to give as a gift for any occassion or to someone who is struggling with one of the twelve issues the author covers.

This book really encouraged me in my walk with God. The authors ability to be so honest and vulnerable was like a fresh breeze and I can see why she's a successful writer. In a world where we are encouraged to paint on a smile and pretend like we have it all together it's refreshing to see someone break those barriers down. I was also impressed with how rich the book is with symbolism behind Jesus' time in the Garden of Gethsemane and our own suffering. It really provided me with the stepping stones necessary for healing without over "christianizing" it. It made parts of the Bible that are hard to understand simple to grasp. I highly reccomend the book for anyone who is going through a difficult time. I especially like the chapters where the author shares her own stories of heartache (the ones on sucide and the sexual abuse she went through was awesome) and how God intervened in her life. It gave me hope because I've been suicidal before. She says that "God restores the years eaten away by the locust," and when you read her story and how God has redeemed her life you can't help but believe that to be true. God is awesome!”

I am a pastor and will heartily refer many of those I counsel to purchase this book. It offers many insightful ways to battle the spirit world. Montgomery teaches the reader how to take thoughts captive, the power of the tongue, and how to equip themselves for battle. Additionally, she unfolds her own past which included occultism and witchcraft, and her conversion to Christianity. It's a powerful book for both men and women. It also provides depth and enough information that you'll find yourself going back again and again to familiarize yourself with the spiritual techniques she teaches. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I bought copies for other people and they said the same thing.

I'm a 'non-reader' but I couldn't put this book down! Powerful! Hopeful! This heart-wrenching personal testimony of the life-long abuse and addictions, as well as the consequences, brought to this author was at times overwhelming to read. However, she beautifully writes about the REDEMPTIVE work, RESTORATIVE hope, and FAITHFULNESS of God. Whether you are guilt-ridden with your past, or have a less-than-perfect role model of a father, or have suffered abuse and can't seem to forgive...this book is for YOU.

My wife and I read Leslie's story. We have never read a book that was so honestly raw with the pain and suffering that is a real part of sexual abuse. But we also rejoiced with the restoring power of Jesus Christ in her life and the way He is using her life to bless others.

Started reading this one Friday evening and couldn't put it down, stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish. This book was an amazing story of God's redemption for all of us. Since I grew up in the same small town and was the same age as Leslie, there was definitely a personal connection to her story, but I feel like even without that, the outcome would have been no different. It was such a horrible realization of what she endured, but at the same time such a powerful testimony of how God can completely change the worst and ugliest moments in our life to such beauty. I would recommend and have recommended it to several people. Can't wait for it to come out in written copy so I can share God's grace through Leslie with people. Leslie thank you for your sharing your story. I love that you were so honest and shared even when the choice you made wasn't always the best. Yes you were a victim, but you included the whole picture and just showed how God can make so much more out of our circumstances.

Leslie Montgomery’s memoir is a tale of a life forged by the hand of God for the ministry He had prepared for her. It qualifies as a true page-turner, as she relates the tightening cords of darkness around her broken by the power of the gospel. This book will minister to many abused and hurting people. It may well be the only memoir that’s a page-turner.

Leslie's story is so inspiring! Truly a story of how God can use any circumstances and create a life to be lived for His glory, Leslie shows through her unveiled accounting of her own life that anyone can not only make it through anything, but can come out on the other side victorious in Christ. I appreciate the openness and honesty with which she writes. It was very difficult to put down! There is so much material that made it relatable to my own life and struggles. Even if the reader has not been through such horrific circumstances, I believe the message of redemption can speak to anyone who reads with an open heart. Thank you, Leslie, for such an honest book!
