A Storytellers Guide to Joyful Service—Turning Your Misery into Ministry
(Wadsworth, OH) Inspirational speaker, best-selling author, Hall of Fame broadcaster and award winning blogger, Tony Agnesi is a master storyteller. Tony just published his second book in the Storyteller’s series, A Storyteller’s Guide to Joyful Service— Turning Your Misery into Ministry. In this book, Tony Agnesi shares stories of personal triumph of people who have turned their suffering into an opportunity to serve others. Tony shares his own life changing stories, as well.
Did you ever notice that the couple raising money for autism has an autistic child? The woman visiting cancer patients is a cancer survivor? The man offering a pair of boots to a homeless man was once homeless? The couple dropping off food to a needy family was once needy themselves? All of these people have turned their misery into a ministry. Their suffering has become their mission!
“Since 2012, I have written over 250 short stories for my blog at TonyAgnesi.com. I have rewritten 68 of those stories for the new book, said Agnesi. It is my hope that the stories will not only inspire readers but help them to recall their personal stories and the people that have touched them, as well.”
In 2017, Tony’s blog was named one of the top 100 Catholic Blogs internationally by Feedly. Two years earlier, Tony was a finalist the 15th Annual Weblog Awards, ranking in the top three internationally in the Religion/Spirituality category. He is a member of the Catholic Writers Guild and the Radio and Television Hall of Fame. Tony is a frequent guest on Catholic Radio and is a contributor to Shalom Tidings magazine.
Tony, 69, and his wife of 46 years, Diane, are long time Wadsworth residents and are members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. They have two adult sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and two grandsons, Nico and Luca.
