Michael, I hope you still have time to come on YouTube. Anyway, I was wondering how you turn down the money? As a young man I am intoxicated by the money and the lifestyle... Advice would be deeply appreciated.
I'm glad he straightened out his life. I always say this...if a person lives this kind of life or close to it, and they live past 25 it's only from the grace of God they are still alive.
God isn't responsible for anything that happened in your life or anybody elses. It's your own free thinking conscience that changes your life. When you die get ready for a big disappointment you narrow minded Christian.
Michael, thanks for tearing it up in Amishland this past weekend! Record day, so many hearts touched & lives transformed. You were a catalyst & we so appreciate your genuine heart & ministry! Blessings to you & your family! -Sam Masteller (freedomlife.tv)
hello michael im from belfast in N.IREALND and i have always glorified the mafia as well as the I.R.A. I thought a life in the mafia was unreal and i grew up believing violence no matter how extreme was ok and crime was the done thing, everyone i knew was involved in some way so my thinking was poisined threw my experiances growing up here and stuff i had done, but through listening to you speak about your life i feel that youve helped change my opinion for the better... all the best!!
Michael, It's amazing what you went through, It's even more amazing how your still alive. all the stories i hear of mobs and people leaving the mob usually don't live. you are definetely an inspiration. Can't wait to see you at Freedom Life Christian Center for MafiaChurch.
Michael I will continue to pray for your father as he is yet again facing more trouble. I pray for his innocence and to be left alone in the future as he is a man of respect.
like "generaloniell" Said... thank you for visiting Calvary Fellowship down in Miami... it was really nice to have you there.... GOD Bless You, And thank you for the lesson.
Thank you, Michael, for returning my thanks to you for being so real. I am the mom of 10 children, one of whom feels the need to still be 'in the streets'. Please keep speaking.
Micheal you're story gives me hope ! I understand you found Jesus in my hometown Ft.Lauderdale Fl !? It's nice to see fellow Italian-American spreading a HEALTHY and positive message ! We are associated with way too much negativity . Grazie,Carlo
I just was listening to your testimony in the car on the way to visit some family, and i have to say that it was quite a story, and opened my eyes too a lot. Thank for you for sharing your story to everyone you can, God bless.
I just finished watching your presentation on DVD at Shadow Mountain Community Church. Let me just say, your testimony is incredibly powerful. You talked about the Sopranos in it, but to really be a part of it, and then be transformed by Jesus Christ is amazing. You keep on going for Christ, Mr. Franzese, I have a feeling God has more blessings to store for you.
I really need to talk to you ASAP...dunno Y im so obsessed with the "mob-lifestyle" and wanting to take part but im struggling with my reglion by having demonic thoughts of becoming a made guy
I've always had a fascination with the Mob, for some reason. I've watched all the moveis. I got the impression that once you were in one of those families, the only way you got out was if you died. I read Blood Covenant a few years ago and I enjoyed the book very much. It will never cease to amaze me how God looks after His children. Do you ever get a chance to go and see the Family anymore and if you do, have you ever had a chance to witness the love of Jesus to them? God bless you Michael.
i just saw you this past wednesday at crossroads church in odessa, texas and i was amazed at everything you overcame! i hope you come back soon because i know alot of people who wish they could have been there! god bless and hope to see you in odessa again!
Michael, can I get Your book I'll make You an offer You can't refuse with Your signature? I ain't from Usa, so the question is how do I do that ?! Thanks for answer!
Michael, is it possible to get somehow Your book I'll make You the offer.. with Your signature? How do I do that since I am from Europe? Thanks for answer!
Thanks Micheal. Great book. You really know how to reach out to people. You kept my attention when you came to my church Bethany United Methodist in PA. I get easily bored and i did not get bored at all when you spoke. You made me laugh and yet you were very serious. You shared alot to with us.
My friend!-- Thanks for the encouraging words. I really enjoyed my visit to Bethany.. You were all terrific.. We all need some humor in our lives at times... I have learned not to take myself too seriously... Be Blessed! -- M
I wrote to you once before on your website. A fellow Long Islander here, who frankly is as proud of you as anyone. You may not know me personally, I may not know you personally, but I grew up in Bensonhurst and know of all you speak of and again, to get away from that life and do what you have done is frankly amazing! God Bless You my man.
I actually replied to you below. Wrong spot but right response... Take care. And for the person below, thanks alot for the comment. We really need to focus on our kids. Glad you appreciate the message.
I appreciate your taking the time to share your thoughts. Your words are very encouraging and most appreciated. Sounds like we do have a lot in common, my friend. You take care now and may you always be blessed! --- Michael
Glad I came across your channel. The only reason I even found it was because I was searching for a dance video put the song, "I Can Only Imagine". Your name was in the video description. So then I searched for your name, and that's how I found your channel! I heard of you on the radio, but didn't know you were on YouTube. Like I said, I'm glad I found you. And I'm so glad you found Jesus. Your daughter is an AMAZING dancer!
Thank you so much for your comments... My daughter will appreciate your compliments also... She is an amazing little girl. Her heart is as beautiful as her dancing...
Thank you for taking the time to comment. My little girl is as beautiful inside as she is in her dance. Thank you for complimenting her. She will appreciate it... We serve an awesome God and I am so thankful He found me... Be Blessed!
Wow, what a fantastic testimony on how God can change any life, everyone is totally redeemable.......
