Biography

For more than three decades, Richard Maffeo worshiped in evangelical Protestant churches. He earned his baccalaureate and masters degrees from Pentecostal schools. His religious articles have appeared in dozens of Christian publications. In 2003, a friend challenged him to study Catholic doctrine and compare it to what he already knew of Scripture and Church history. What he discovered caught him by surprise. Two years later, during the Easter Vigil of 2005, Richard was received into the Catholic Church. Richard and his wife, Nancy, attend St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church, in Tacoma, Washington, where he serves as a catechist for sixth graders and a Lay Eucharistic Minister. He and his wife are married more than thirty-two years and have three grown children. This is his first book. His second – A Journey With the King of Glory – has a planned publication date in 2008.

Inspiration

I long to be a faithful servant of Jesus Christ. To that end, I want to spend more and more time with Him in prayer, meditation and study of Scripture. It is in those things that I find my inspiration to live like I teach, to walk as I talk.
