What an amazing story man.. I'm so bummed I couldn't go that night you spoke at Coast Hills. God Bless!

[MichaelFranzese]

Thank you! The people at Coast Hills were terrific. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit. I'm sure we will visit again one day.

Be Blessed!

Your a really amazing man. I came by your name reading Wikipedia and looking up the history of Donny Brasco. I had never heard of you. Checked out your site and have been watching your videos on youtube now for over an hour.

I am dumbstruck by what you have accomplished with your life. Makes me look at my own and find it very lacking in comparison.

[MichaelFranzese]

I appreciate your comments. I have been extremely fortunate, very blessed to have good people around me and God in my life. No need to feel lacking in any way. Be encouraged that if my life can get on track, so can yours. Glad you enjoyed the videos. Stay tuned. We should be updating soon. Thanks!

Love your book and your story Michael, I live in Ozone Park, Queens and ran a youth group in Bayside for a year and three months. God bless you.

This guy is so cool. I've met him in real life. He came to speak at my university and I got an autographed copy of his book, Blood Covenant.

[ClayfanEve]

What a story! What a life! Just read your book "Blood Covenant" and I've gotta say, Michael, our God is an awesome God :) Enjoyed seeing you in Corpus Christi; y'all come back, y'hear? lol

A friend of mine got saved the night you spoke at the Rock Church in San Diego! Your message touched him in a way that let him see God clearly. Thank you!!!

I cannot imagine your ex - friends in the mafia being 10% as  intelligent and articulate as you are.

[njmhk]

I agree, an amazing story! I really enjoy your vids sir. As a guy who grew up in Brooklyn (Flatbush) myself (born in '55), It hits very close to home. Although I'm not italian, I had many friends who were, some with ties to the Mafia! God bless you.

you were made first?

first?

doesn't say much about being a stand up guy.

Are you free of your past or do you live in the ashes?
