About the Author

Carl "Tuchy" Palmieri was born in 1942 in an old mansion belonging to the former mill owner of the factory where his father worked. His family was one of six related families that occupied the mansion. The second son of Italian immigrants, Carl grew up in Westport, Connecticut. After receiving a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Bridgeport he began his career marketing and installing accounting computers for the Burroughs Corporation. Twenty-one years later, in 1987, he started his own computer business. Carl is also the author of a series of self-help books. Today Carl lives with his wife, Susan, in Fairfield, Connecticut. He has three children, two stepchildren, and 12 grandchildren. His nickname, Tuchy, comes from having been one of three Carls in his family. There was a "Big Carl," a "Carl the Twin," and "Carluch," which meant "Little Carl." "Carluch" evolved into "Carlatuch," "Tuch," and finally, "Tuchy."

This review is from: Twice Born Ministers: We Are All Ministers (Paperback)

I was curious about this book. I noticed how many 5 star reviews it got, started looking at the reviewers and noticed a trend. Although the reviewers almost never seem to have reviewed more than 15 books, they all seemed to have reviewed the same titles. Look for yourself. Click on the reviewers' other reviews. You will see the same books reviewed: Slow Home, Meeting You, Forget Mr. Married, How to get..., Miles Away, Beyond the Beaker, Escaping life's Sting, The Darkness, and anything associated with Palmieri. Are these reviews all the work of some agency for hire that will promote your book on amazon for a fee? I was wondering if the author would explain this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spiritual, December 1, 2010

This review is from: Twice Born Ministers: We Are All Ministers (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for those who have lost their faith along the way. In Twice Born Ministers: We Are All Ministers, the stories of men who had lost their way and faith only to rediscover it later are shared. I found these stories to be very spiritually uplifting and helped me to discover a renewed belief that we all have a purpose and calling in life. If you know anyone or you yourself are interested in becoming a minister this is the perfect book to read. It would be the perfect book for any Christian who is feeling lost or unsure of their place in this world and is losing faith.

This review is from: Twice Born Ministers: We Are All Ministers (Paperback)

Twice Born Ministers is a very compelling book, which was suggested by a dear friend of mine that has in his own right become a twice-born minister, you could say. Shoemaker has compiled 12 stories of people who have re-found their faith and moved on to help others repair and grow in their own faith and beliefs. In this day and time, it can be difficult to hold your faith when it seems the world is in total despair around you. This book will give you a new insight and faith.
