Book Reviews of Once Life Matters: A New Beginning
Book Review: From the valley of despair, to the mountain top of purpose!
Summary: 5 Stars
My first opportunity to steal communion wafers came when I was alone in the sanctuary after serving mass. The priest left to take care of some business and I was sitting there, eye to eye with the unconsecrated hosts. They hadn't turned into Jesus yet, I rationalized; so who would care? I helped myself to a handful of wafers and ran home to my toy-chest altar. I finally had the missing ingredient to my church service. It never occurred to me that I was stealing or sinning." (Page 19 of Once Life Matters: A New Beginning)
As a small child Marty Angelo had dreams of becoming a Catholic Priest but as his life unfolds; his childhood aspirations become nothing but a distant memory as he follows the glittery road of the entertainment business that leads to success but ends in disaster.
Once Life Matters: A New Beginning, is not only a powerful title, it's a powerful book! Marty Angelo with the help of, Michael Clark has written an awesome testimony of how Jesus Christ can turn a life around in a very powerful way. Marty had everything this world had to offer; fame, money, women and drugs, but like you hear so often, all of those things left him feeling empty and paved his way into a prison cell.
Who else do you know that has been involved with such legends as, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Grass Roots, John Lennon, George Harrison and the like? If that were me, I would probably still be talking and bragging about such experiences. Not Marty Angelo! His story offers some insight into the lives of those famous people (which I found very fascinating) but at the end of the day, at the end of Marty's storm, it is Jesus Christ that he exalts.
I spent time in prison and I also wrote a book called, "You Are Never Alone" about how Jesus turned my life around but Marty's story is different. Jesus saved him before he went to prison and it was literally an electrifying experience! Wow!
Unlike other prison testimonials, Marty went into prison happy and with his God given purpose. Marty spent his time in prison pressing into and building his relationship with Jesus through the study of His word. He walked out of prison and hasn't stopped climbing higher and higher, but this time his ladder of success is propped up by the Kingdom of Heaven. Just visit his website [...] and you will see what I mean. Marty, his story and his life are not only an inspiration to those who are lost, but is also an inspiration for those of us who are saved. He is a shining example of how we should live our lives; selfless, steadfast and sure of our commitment to Jesus Christ in doing whatever we can for the least of these.
If you have a loved one in prison, addicted to drugs or just needs a "New Beginning" in life, this book is a must read.
