Amazing Grace-
"Anthony Gentile is an extraordinary man. He is a gifted speaker with an inspiring message for men of all ages. His story of transformation from a world of anger, depression, decadent music, idolization, near-heresy, addictions and rage to a loving son, husband, father and faith-filled servant of our Lord is a message of amazing grace and much-needed hope in today’s world. More remarkable than Anthony’s story is to be in his presence to feel the Holy Spirit at work, focused on changing hearts and lives each and every day. Hear his story, feel his love of the Lord and his family, and be transformed yourself from contemplation to action."

He is a Spiritual "Wake-Up Call"-
"Whenever I hear that Anthony Gentile has an upcoming speaking event, it is always a “must-see event” for me. I scramble to try to invite and bring as many people as I possibly can (even those that aren’t very strong in their faith and those that seem to have no faith at all). To me, the chance to bring someone to hear Anthony speak is the chance to give that person the best spiritual “wake-up call” that I could possibly hope to give. The passion with which Anthony delivers his words, the amazing energy that he radiates to the crowd is such that even the most tired, weary soul is called to attention and drawn to his message. Anthony’s humbling personal testimony of how God saved him from a life of sheer despair and then transformed his heart and set it on fire with the love of God gives great hope to us all. I have seen people who have been moved to tears by Anthony’s words. However, deep down, I know that it is not tears that God wants to produce by using Anthony in his speaking ministry, but radiant smiles, eternal smiles on the faces of His children as they enter His Heavenly kingdom."

Darkness into light
"This man, wow, this man. He is absolutely amazing. The testimony this man gave to over 300 youth today, was inspiring! The reaction and feedback we received of how much he impacted their lives and changed some peoples outlook is astonishing! His story of how he lived in darkness for years, hating Jesus, hating the church, his family; and how one night Anthony was converted to going back to the church, finding God's love, finding his faith.. And finding Jesus, and bringing him back into his life!! What he went through to get to that day is unbelievable. And so inspiring! I guarantee whether you're catholic or not you will take something away from this man. One part of his story will touch you. God Bless you Anthony for all that you are and all that you do!"

Chris Farley and St. Thomas Aquinas?!
After 40 years of poor Catechism, their exists a lost generation of Catholics who know less of their faith than the Protestants and Atheists who are, at present, easily drawing our youth away from the One True Faith.
Thankfully, the Lord has sent a compassionate voice that connects to the hearts and minds of this Lost Generation. That voice is Anthony Gentile.
A mixture of Thomas Aquinas and Chris Farley, Anthony presents the Apostolic Faith with passionate delivery and inspiration. His journey from Rock and Roll junkie to apostle of Christ is balanced with the right amount of compassion, catechism, comedy and clarion call that captivates the searching teenage soul and awakens their senses long enough for Anthony to deliver his powerful message of salvation and draw them back into the loving arms of Mother Church.
