October's Featured Author: Jerry Aveta
This month's featured author is Gennaro Anthony (Jerry) Aveta, Jr., pastor and "historian" (though he claims not to be the latter). His book, When Liberty Enslaves, is an inspired eye-opener about issues related to the 2024 Election that parallel those surrounding the 1960 (Civil War era) election and has received four reviews--all stellar, 5 stars--and an award. In the space of six weeks! Bravo, Jerry!

Born
in Philadelphia, PA, Jerry was raised in Flemington, New Jersey. After parochial grammar and public high
school, Jerry graduated from Virginia Military Institute in May 1972 with a
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
Jerry
had a successful career as a Civil servant in the Department of Defense holding
various engineering, program management, and executive positions. Significant achievements included leading an
integrated project team comprised of several engineers and managers to initiate
acquisition reform throughout the U.S. Army; managing highly classified research
and development programs; leading a Task Force in support of President Bush’s
“War on Drugs”; and being the Deputy Commander of the U.S. Army Soldier Systems
Command. He received the Secretary of
the Army Award for Distinguished Civilian Service at retirement.
After
retirement from Civil service, Jerry became a licensed teacher in Secondary
education for Mathematics. He taught
Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry in Virginia for five years.
Jerry’s avocation was
teaching, counseling, and pastoring in various faith communities. He served in many capacities in Baptist,
Pentecostal, and independent churches including founding and pastoring a church
for seven years. He attained an MA in
Religion and Counseling from Liberty University. He was licensed and ordained as a minister in
the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.
These experiences as a
civil servant, public high school teacher, and minister have birthed a passion
for writing in Jerry. His view of faith
is unique and relevant. His experience
in Civil service has given him a knowledge of how our government works and the
influences of politics in its governance.
His teaching experience has shown him how to communicate complex issues
in an easy-to-understand way. His
experience as a minister has birthed a passion to see a healing of our nation’s
divides.
