Born in Brooklyn, New York, on May 16, 1961, Jesus and his angels sang out for joy at the moment of his birth! The Messiah confirms the fact that his soul has no beginning and no end. An "A+” student in the first grade and an “A” student most of the rest of the time, his I.Q. doesn’t measure over 112 on any official record which is something he has never believed. He is the first Black captain of a White athletic team in world history and at a Christian high school, the greatest man ever to enter the Ivy League, the greatest Boy Scout in the history of scouting, although not an Eagle, and is the greatest track and field athlete of modern times pound-per-pound. The author attended The Robert F. Kennedy Incentive Program, Brooklyn, New York, Saint Francis Preparatory high, Fresh Meadows, New York, and Cornell University, Ithaca, New York between 1972 and 1983. Never groomed for success by an inept family, he failed before and after entering college. More ambitious than ever, however, by the time the author comes back from all his trouble, it will be clear why he is indeed the greatest man God ever knew – the most important Christian in the history Christendom. After scoring in the 99th percentile on a recent practice A.C.T. college entrance exam with a bad memory now and his confidence in his math completely shaken, his surety about his falsified records has been vindicated. The author worships Jesus, the Messiah, from all tabernacles of all faiths - Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, etc - at least once a year as well as at his own Catholic parish in New York City. He lives in southeast Brooklyn.
