Former Mob Boss Michael Franzese visits Four Corners Community Church as a guest speaker promoting his new book, “The Good, The Bad, and The Forgiven.” (Tickets: $5, 630-324-0932) Michael brings a testimony sure to inspire anyone seeking to beat the odds and make positive changes in their lives. A highly regarded motivator and source of invaluable information, Michael explains to audiences how he went from being “one of the biggest money earners the mob had seen since Al Capone,” (Vanity Fair Magazine) to becoming known as the “Born Again Don.”

He tells how he engaged bankers, corporate executives, union officials and professional and student athletes in a wide variety of financial scams. His open and honest presentations are fresh and unique. Audiences are captivated by stories of his personal experiences in organized crime and genuinely affected by his powerful anti-crime messages and eye opening revelations.
