During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a fulltime missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Albania, France, Germany, Ghana, Poland, Russia and Malta amongst others. I got married in 1997, and since then, I am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta. As a Volunteer within the Focolare Movement, for a number of years I was co-responsible of the Gen3 and Gen 4 boys, as well as for one of the local nucleus groups.
Since the time of being with the ICPE, evangelisation has always been in my heart, thanks to the constant message of encouragement by Saint Pope John Paul II, who at that time encouraged the youths to go out and preach the gospel. It was during this time, in the early nineties, when facing different experiences of evangelisation, the hardships it brings with it, the spiritual growth I went through, and the different encounters with race, faith and opinions, and witnessing to people accepting Jesus in their lives, that I felt the first desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme.
At that time, I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge seriously, knowing that I had never ever thought of being a writer. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that this was something He wanted from me! Since that time, it always remained in my heart… but it was never fulfilled!
Following my experience with the ICPE, I got married and as my wife was a member of the Focolare Movement, I was introduced to the Movement through her. Gradually I started to attend meetings and started getting involved in the life of the Movement. Honestly, it was not an easy task for me to adjust to the new reality of this Movement, which was totally new to me. But the word ‘Love’ which Chiara taught, always kept me going and helped me to settle down within the Movement.
The experience I had with the ICPE, of going out to different countries and cultures and evangelising, seemed long gone by. But although the desire to go out to other countries was still in my heart, God was showing me new ways how to reach out to other people in every corner of the world. God was preparing for me a surprise.
This all started when in November 2014, after months discerning upon my new spiritual journey of how to evangelise, I started to see some light. This light from my discernment was to start writing Christian books. Through the help of technology, I started to discover how from the comfort of my home I can reach out to every corner of the world and evangelise through the means which social media presents. God was now paving the way for me after my ‘Yes’.
Since embarking on this journey of evangelising through social media, I have up to now published around 15 short Christian books, both as ebooks and paperback, available through well-known online ebooks stores. I also choose particular parts of the writings in these books and upload them on my FaceBook Profile and other different social media. It is so beautiful to see how much one can connect with people from every corner of the world; people asking to know more about Christ, asking for prayers, asking to learn to evangelise on social media and to give a word of encouragement, ‘to love your neighbour’ as Jesus taught us to do.
Besides publishing Christian Books, I also write various other spiritual articles which I also upload on my other social networks and sites. But God, continued to show me more ways how to evangelise through social media. The same articles which I write are now also being available as podcasts on Spotify, and as videos through YouTube. From my simple ‘Yes’ to God in November 2014, I have learnt that God works in mysterious ways which I would have never imagined. My latest journey in evangelising through social media, is of having two online courses on Udemy, namely ‘Living the beatitudes in your life’ and ‘How to heal your spiritual wounds’. These courses are based on two of my Christian books namely ‘The Beatitudes… the blessings from the sermon on the mount’ and ‘Heal my wounds’ respectively.
All my writings, podcasts and videos are a simple message of encouragement for life, to help humanity think about what life is all about, and to give them a challenge to live life through God's Love. My material is based on my Christian values and also the spirituality that I receive through the Focolare Movement. I try to reach out to all people in the world, whatever their faith is, as I believe that every person is able to love his neighbour. With this on my mind, I present a simple message of truth, to have a personal relationship with God and to love every person through God's love.
I thank God, that through this challenge of doing His will in my life, although it is tough and time consuming, it is also peaceful and rewarding to see other people appreciating my work and above all receiving the Good N

Over the past years, ever since becoming a Christian Author, I have felt the need to be present in the different social media which is available. I use the major social media to present my work as a Christian Author and in the same time to share the Good News.

For those who are interested to follow me on social media, I am found on FaceBook, Twitter, WordPress, Instagram,YouTube and Spotify amongst others. I am nearly daily on social media uploading information about my books, Christian articles about the love of God, etc. These can take the form of a written article, a video, or also of a podcast amongst others.

I am sure that anyone who takes a look of what I upload on social media will find something of interest. So below find a list of social media where one can be in contact with me. Hope you enjoy them.

Writing Christian books is a mission I feel that God has called me to… that is to evangelize. My personal experience of Jesus is so strong, that expressing it through my Christian books, I feel that I can bring this joy to all the nations… simply by writing books.

Of course, I also share about Jesus and what He has done in my life, through my daily living. As a Christian I feel that sharing His love is very important, so that other people may get to know about this Good News. So that is why I write Christian books.

Yes I do support the work of other Christian Authors. I think this is very important for all authors to support one another. Supporting one another as authors is also very impportant for our readers, as I believe in unity between authors and readers.
In fact, I have recently took the initiative and created a Group on FaceBook to promote the work of Christian Authors. This way through this Group Christian Authors can promote their work for FREE, while readers who are interested in Christian Books can easily find a suitable Christian book for them. Also, this Group gives an opportunity for the Christian Author and reader to interact.
Any Christian Author and readers can join this group on FaceBook for FREE at ‘Christian Books to read’ https://www.facebook.com/groups/1377798415592064/

Well, all of my books have been selling well, and I am really glad for that. The book 'The Beatitudes... the blessings from the sermon on the mount' has been the best selling book of mine till now. My satisfaction is that my writings about peace, unity, love and of growing in our relationship with Jesus is received positively by whoever reads my books and that I can contribute a bit for a better world.

Well, the year 2016 will surely be a busy one for me. I have different projects on my mind. Firstly, in the beginning of January 2016 I will publish the book ‘My little book of daily prayer’. I have been writing this book for the past nine months or so and I hope it will be helpful for the prayer life of the reader.

Secondly, I will be publish the 2nd editions of the books ‘Peace and unity in our lives’ volumes one and two. In these 2nd editions I will update the book cover, insert links to my published books….and will announce a special price!!!

Thirdly, I am planning to publish another book around April 2016. The book is ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good’. This is a very spiritual book and only around a couple of paragraphs are still to be written.

Fourthly, I have started writing another book called ‘The light’… which I hope to publish around September 2016.

So, at the moment these are my plans for the year 2016… but I am always open to the Lords direction and guidance, as I always do according to His plans for me.

Yes, it is a sort of newsletter which I called ‘Monthly Reflections’. In this newsletter I include a monthly reflection which I write myself to help the reader to increase ones faith in Jesus. Also, this newsletter includes information about all my published books, reviews to my books, future books to be published, special promotions to my books, and also spiritual articles which I publish on a monthly basis.

If anyone is interested to receive this newsletter, all you need to do is to email me at peacethroughunity@gmail.com and I will add you to the mailing list.

During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with ‘The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE’ and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I have been married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.

During the six years of my life as a missionary with ICPE’, to share His Love in different countries, I did face the challenge of saying ‘Yes’ to Him. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had to leave everything behind: my family, my friends, giving up my job... But as I had a deep faith in Him, I told Him 'Yes’... I will follow You... trusting, that he would take care of me in all aspects of my life. That prayer of mine opened the doors for me to give my ‘Yes’ to Him... to follow Him.

In the following six years as a missionary, and also after that time, Jesus has always taken care of me, has always provided me with blessings and grace, and has also taken care of me financially. Through faith, and my personal relationship with Him, He has taught me how to trust Him, and how to really follow Him freely and in peace.

During my time as a missionary with ‘ICPE’, I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn’t the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain… but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus… that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News!
Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.

My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart… but it was never fulfilled!

My ‘Yes’ to take up this challenge happened in November 2014, and since then, I have published five Christian books. God has paved the way for me to do it. I do sacrifice myself to write these books, as it needs time to write and to publish. But, I thank Him, that through this challenge, although it is tough, it is also peaceful and it is rewarding to see other people appreciating my work, and receiving the messages I write… which are based on Jesus’ love to us, that is, His Salvation.

My writings are a simple message of encouragement for life, to make the reader think about what life is all about, and to give the reader a challenge to live life through God's Love. My writings are based on my Christian values, and I try to reach out to all people in the world, whatever their belief is, as I believe that every person is able to love his neighbour. So through my writings, I present the message to the readers to have this personal relationship with God and to love every person through God's love.

My first ebook ‘Peace and Unity in our lives – Volume One’ was published in November 2014. In January 2015, I published my second ebook, which is Volume Two of ‘Peace and Unity in our lives’. This was followed by my third ebook ‘Yes… I will follow Him’, published in March 2015, which is also available in paperback. During this month, I also published the paperback version of ‘Peace and Unity in our lives’. In June 2015 I published a free ebook ‘Evangelization through Social Networking Sites’, which is also available for a minimal price as a paperback version.

So, I do appreciate your prayers and support, that I may continue to publish Christian books. And finally I hope that you enjoy my writings and be blessed by reading them.

My next ebook is planned to be published in early June of 2015, titled, ‘Evangelization through Social Networking Sites’. This ebook will be FREE to download. The aim of this ebook is to encourage the reader to evangelize through Social Networking Sites. The ebook is divided into four Chapters. It will briefly explain what evangelization is about, followed by the importance of spreading the gospel all over the world. The third Chapter will focus on evangelization through Social Networking Sites. This is followed by the fourth Chapter which will also include my own experience of evangelization through the social network. This ebook will also be available as a paperback version.

I always let the Holy Spirit to inspire me what to write. Usually I get this inspiration when I am praying, especially when being at the chapel. Once I get inspired to write a particular book, I know what the message of the book is to be, the title of the book, also what type of book cover I need to prepare. After this, the hard work starts, and that is the actual writing of the book.

I am planning that on the 8 March 2015 I publish the much awaited book ‘Yes… I will follow Him’. As I already mentioned, this book is intended to encourage the reader to say the 'yes' to Jesus and to follow Him. In this book I will also recount some of my missionary experiences which have never been published as yet. Amongst these experiences I will recount the episode when I was evangelising in the USSR during the Cold War.

This book is very special for me, as it also inspires the reader about the ‘yes’ of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and also about the ‘yes’ of Saint Paul. I hope that whoever reads this book be encouraged to follow Him and above all to go and evangelize.

It is the love of Jesus. His love is so precious, that it motivates me to write books, so to share His love with others. It is a motivation that comes from my personal experience of Jesus… that is His personal love for me. It is this love that I try to give to my readers… that Jesus loves them in a personal way. This is what motivates me to be a Christian author… to spread the Good News that He loves you in a personal way.

In mid-January 2015 I am planning to publish my second ebook 'Peace and unity in our lives - Volume Two'. In the coming days this book can be pre-ordered for a special price of only $1, as from 1st February 2015 it will be priced at $1.75.

Also, during March 2015, I am planning to publish my much awaited book 'Yes... I will follow you'. This book is intended to encourage the reader to say the 'yes' to Jesus and to follow Him. In this book I will also recount some of my missionary experiences which have never been published as yet. Amongst these experiences I will recount the episode when I was evangelising in the USSR during the Cold War.......so watch out for this book.

Then around June 2015, I am planning to publish a free ebook, which will be about the importance to evangelise through the social networks.

Thanks to all those that have been supporting me with my writings, and especially to those that have read my first publication.

Merry Christmas to all and wishing you all the Blessings from the Lord.

All the short thoughts, Bible reflections, the short verses, and the inspirational photos have been selected for my second ebook 'Peace and Unity in our lives - Volume Two'. Now the next step is to do the proofreading which will take a week or two to do. After that I will format the ebook, and hopefully will publish the it towards the end of January 2015.

....A simple message of encouragement for life, to make the reader think about what life is all about, and to give the reader a challenge to live life through God's Love. My writings are based on my Christian values, and I try to reach out to all people in the world, whatever their belief is, as I believe that every person is able to love his neighbour. So through my writings, I present the message to the readers to have this personal relationship with God and to love every person through God's love.

My first ebook 'Peace and Unity in our lives - Volume One' is expected to be published by the end of November 2014. Next year around January 2015 I am planning to publish my second ebook which is Volume Two of 'Peace and Unity in our lives'. Also, I intend that sometime after during 2015 I publish my third ebook. I already started writing this ebook, but it is too early to say what it is about......so it is a sort of a surprise for now.

Ever since around 1996 I had this feeling of writing different spiritual thoughts but had never put them in writing. Only since mid 2012, I have been writing my spiritual thoughts and posting them in my social networks. After a very positive response I have received, which was very encouraging, I decided that now is the time to publish my spiritual thought through ebooks. So, in the coming months and years, I will start publishing my spiritual writings on a regular basis.
