The Monk & The Skunk

      About the Author

  John Regan, in his professional life, spent a number of years in the broadcasting industry as a radio news anchor and television weatherman. Eventually he and his wife Joan purchased their own business and a few years later decided to make their home in Florida with their three small children.  Once settled in Florida John answered a call for volunteers in prison ministry and soon thereafter was elected president of the organization. After serving 18 years in the prison system of Florida John joined Palm Beach County Right to Life League Inc. and one year later was elected President.  After many years in the Prolife movement and witnessing the suffering of mothers and fathers, and remembering those who suffered in prisons and jails, John realized it was time to write another book, his seventh. This book would emphasize the reality of life and its purpose, which is to prepare ourselves to spend eternal life with God. To accomplish that we must love one another just as God loves us. At times that can be difficult, but to be successful in our quest to please God, we must avail ourselves of all the graces He gives us. As we accept His graces which teach us how to love, forgive, be charitable, humble and merciful, then, when we have reached the end of our earthly lives, we will hope and pray that God will be merciful to us and welcome us into Heaven. Now retired, John continues to live in Florida with his wife Joan of 56 years, their three children, eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
