John R. Ingrisano - who has written 3 posts on Transparent Christian Magazine.

John R. Ingrisano, 57, grew up as a perfunctory Roman Catholic, slid into spiritual indifference in high school and then angry atheism in college. Brash as St. Peter, he spent decades building a career as a writer and businessman, raising a family, making and losing a reasonable-size fortune, and struggling through two marriages and divorces. Along the way, he rediscovered his faith and – in that same brash way – has spent the last decades determined to use the gift with words that God gave him to serve God. Today, he is an acolyte, member of the Bishop’s Committee, quasi leader of the Men’s Group and active parishioner at The Episcopal Church of Christ the King and Holy Nativity in Door County, Wisconsin. He is the author of A Perfect Day: Thoughts on Faith & Forgiveness and hosts a faith blog, www.DailyConnections.net.

“My Hero” Special Guest Author — John R. Ingrisano

I’m a clay-footed Christian, best defined by the tired phrase been-there-done-that. When asked to consider and write about my heroes and mentors, I stumbled a bit (those darn clay feet) because I realized I had few such folks, who I’d just as soon call models.
