Michael John Cretaro Answers QUESTIONS FROM THE CREATOR
by Christina Mancuso - Sep 16, 2016


'Questions From The Creator': a compilation of questions aimed at improving the understanding of biblical stories and the closeness to the one who inspired it. 'Questions From The Creator' is the creation of published author, Michael John Cretaro, a lifelong resident of the Upstate New York Area and a 1981 graduate of Canastota High School. He has served in the United States Air Force, including time overseas in England. He has also worked for the United States Postal Service for over two decades. He is a devout Roman Catholic Christian whose faith has been a constant source of strength and inspiration to him throughout his life. He also respects the efforts of Ecumenical movements that seek to fulfill Christ's desire that they may all be one. The individuals that he considers to have been most influential in his spiritual growth are the late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, The Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. Scott Hahn, Dr. Charles Stanley, Father Mitch Pacwa as well as the late Father Anthony DeMello. The Bible that he used in writing this book is the Didache Bible: Ignatius Bible Edition, with commentary based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He attends church regularly and has learned the value of having a daily commitment to both scripture and prayer. His overall philosophy on life is based on a quote from St. Francis of Assisi: Preach the Gospel at all times; use words if necessary.
