Franzese candidly describes how he survived dozens
of grand jury appearances, 3 major racketeering indictments, 5 criminal
trials, 7 years in prison and a Mafia death sentence. He tells how
he engaged bankers, corporate executives, union officials and professional
and student athletes in a wide variety of financial scams. His open
and honest presentations are fresh and unique. Audiences are captivated
by stories of his personal experiences in organized crime and genuinely
affected by his powerful anti-crime messages and eye opening revelations.
Today, Michael is a follower of Jesus Christ, finding his own Damascus
Road. The story of his conversion is a testament of God's willingness
to reach into the heart of any man regardless of their past or the
present condition of their lives.
Law enforcement officials and mobsters say that the only way to
leave the mob is in a coffin. It is said in Proverbs 16:7 that,
"when a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, even his enemies
are at peace with him." Michael just might be a living testament
to the latter. Over ten years ago, Camille led Michael to accept
the Lord and it was at that time that he renounced his life in the
mob.
"As a sworn member of La Cosa Nostra, I knowingly took an
oath that obligated me to live my life in conflict with both the
laws of God and of man. Although the Lord Jesus was known to me,
at the time, I chose to give authority over my life to the boss
of the Colombo crime family. Today, there is no doubt in my mind
that I was doomed to spend an eternity in hell had I continued
to reject the authority and live outside of the grace of my true
boss, Jesus Christ.
