"What do conservatives actually believe? In this powerful and inspiring manifesto, "New York Times" best-selling author and former Vice President Mike Pence pens a twenty-first-century version of 'The Conscience of a Conservative.' With candid insights after decades as a happy warrior in the movement, Pence convincingly explains why the Republican Party must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Conservatives know that wisdom often begins by consulting the people who came before them. As Barry Goldwater wrote, 'Conservative principles persist because they are rooted in the truth.' But this isn't just a book about the past. It's about how time-tested conservative principles can be applied to the problems of tomorrow. ... Few politicians have the strength of character of former Congressman, Governor, and Vice President Mike Pence. Pence is the standard bearer for true conservative values at a time when many readers and voters no longer understand what it means to be a conservative, or why conservative values are so important. In 'What Conservatives Believe,' Pence writes about the importance of conservatism with authority, respect, and candor. As he's fond of saying, 'I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it.' A true statesman and leader, Mike Pence defines conservatism for a new generation in what promises to become a timeless conservative classic." --
