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.

Leslie Montgomery has produced the book that best captures the real Mike Pence. 

By doing her homework and numerous personal interviews she has captured 

the​ fundamental decency and genuine Christian commitment of Mike Pence.

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.

The Faith of Mike Pence is an authentic portrayal of the man 

I had the privilege of getting to know so well and is a must read.

Over the years it has been inspirational to watch Mike build a morally coherent life in a political environment full of corruptible temptations. Leslie's work provides affirmation that he is on the right track.

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.

Leslie Montgomery captures the essence of the Mike Pence I have known for more than 30 years. His faith. 

His marriage, and his caring for allies and opponents alike​, are all documented in compelling prose.

“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.”

“Montgomery’s book is not a political, historical, philosophical or personal biography of Pence – rather it is his religious biography…the purpose of the 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.”
