MICHAEL FRANZESE: HIS TESTIMONY: LIVE AT THE GATHERING IN AUSTIN
SPEAKER + AUTHOR
Michael Franzese grew up as the son of the notorious underboss of New York's feared Colombo crime family. On Halloween night 1975, he took the Mafia's oath and became a "made man" himself. He quickly rose through the ranks, generating at his height an estimated $5–$8 million per week from both legal and illegal activities. Vanity Fair Magazine named Franzese "the biggest earner the mob has seen since Al Capone." He was ranked #18 on Fortune Magazine's list of "the 50 Most Powerful Mob Bosses," and was dubbed by the media the mob's true "Yuppie Don."
U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani and a 14-agency joint law enforcement task force were determined to bring Franzese down. On a movie set in 1985, he met and ultimately fell in love with Cammy Garcia, a young woman of devout faith. Franzese then decided to do what no man of his stature had ever done — quit the mob, refuse to testify against his former associates or live under government protection, and live to talk about it. He survived dozens of grand jury appearances, five criminal trials, eight years in prison, and a Mafia death sentence.
Come along on Michael's journey from the mob, to prison, to a brave new life as a follower of Jesus Christ. It's a story that will inspire you and give you hope. A story with a powerful lesson: No one is so bad that they can't be forgiven — life can begin again.
Selected endorsements & commentary:
Life Magazine, December 1987: "There's an old saying that the only way to leave the mafia is in a coffin. "Made" members are pledged to a lifetime of secrecy, and to quit would be to arouse suspicion that you are cooperating with the police or federal agents. Such breaches of faith are punishable with death."
Edward McDonald, former chief, Organized Crime Strike Force, EDNY: "I wouldn't want to be in Michael Franzese's shoes. I don't think his life expectancy is very substantial."
Bernie Walsh, Former Special Agent, FBI: "Franzese will get whacked."
Scripture: "So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord... who has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace..." (2nd Timothy 1:8-9)

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
