Publisher's Synopsis
Albert Feliu in his early 30's was a classic American story: a graduate of the United States Air Force Academy, with a beautiful wife, Cindy and two small children - Christina and Michael. A cradle Catholic who was enthusiastic for his faith as a young boy and teenager growing up, Albert grew extremely lax in that same faith as he entered adulthood. Upon being honorably discharged from the US Air Force in 1989, and completing a graduate business degree in 1992, he worked at his new secular career with greater enthusiasm and fervor than he ever pursued his God. "From Sinner to Servant" is Albert's personal story of Almighty God's redemption in his life from 1994 - 2006 and beyond. Aided by numerous people sent into Albert's life - his own personal and extended family, lay people, priests, deacons, and sometimes even by total strangers - he ultimately recognizes, embraces and then perseveres in responding to God's call to serve His people. This book will detail the struggles and joys of being open to God's plan in his life that culminated in a renewal of his vocation of marriage as well as his present vocation of charity and service by becoming a permanent deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. Selected topics include his personal accounts on the power of praying the Rosary, encountering the Eucharistic Lord through Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the strength of perseverance in times of trial, development of personal charity, the final spiritual gifts of parents to their children, and dealing with the loss of loved ones. Since ordination, Albert's formal parish ministry assignments include being the head of the Baptism formation ministry, chaplain of the Men's Club, Sacramental Preparation for Confirmation, Parish retreat master, the Knights of Columbus and occasional contributor of short topic articles.
