Author Shares Personal Journey with Faith and Provides Suggestions on How to Implement Faith in Other Areas of Life


“I believe my views were formed though many years working in the halls of our federal government by day and ministering in the D.C. area in my spare time, nights and weekends. This book contains a unique message that is relevant to this time in our nation.”

Author Jerry Aveta has published his first book, a memoir, which tells the story of his own journey with faith throughout his life. Aveta demonstrates through personal testimony how faith is shaped through the experiences of family, community, sacrifice and heartache. In “The Evidence of Things Unseen,” a means to revitalize religious communities is suggested based on an experience with God.

Having worked in ministry for over 30 years, Aveta found himself without an outlet to express how his experiences and opinions helped him understand the current state of communities of faith and the nation at large. Aveta started writing this book in the form of journal entries covering his experience with evangelical communities of faith, how religion effects the politics of a nation and more. The book was easy for him to write because it is based on his own life and biggest passions.

“I believe my views were formed though many years working in the halls of our federal government by day and ministering in the D.C. area in my spare time, nights and weekends,” said Aveta. “This book contains a unique message that is relevant to this time in our nation.”

Ultimately, “The Evidence of Things Unseen” shares a deeply personal and enlightening story about a man learning about his own faith throughout his life experiences and the effects of it on the community and nation. With the encouragement and support of his wife, what started as an exercise of journaling his thoughts turned into the message captured in the book.
