Meet MSI Press Author Jerry Aveta
Author of the award-winning book, When Liberty Enslaves.
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.
www.faithforthetimes.net has been his forum for writing about current issues and their relevance to our faith. “The Evidence of Things Unseen” was published in 2021 by West Bow Press. His second publication “Faith for the Times” was published by Abuzz Press in 2023. His short story “Into the Light” was published in Indignor House’s 2023 Fall Anthology. When Liberty Enslaves – The Toxic Blend of Politics and Faith, published in August 2024 by MSI Press, is his most recent work.
