Scott Jeffery, the book's author, was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1968, he received a full scholarship to play college football at the University of Utah. It was on a spring break in 1969, around Tuscan, Arizona, that he decided to act on a vocational pull - a nudge from God as he terms it - to enter the seminary to study for the Roman Catholic priesthood. He was ordained to the priesthood as Reverend Scott J. Dugas in 1977 for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. Presently, Scott Jeffery (his pen name), or Rev. Scott, as he is called by other ministerial colleagues, works - even though actively retired from the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux -as a pastoral-priestly administrator within the Diocese of Jackson, Mississippi, to assist the pressing needs of the Mississippi Missions. It is a blessing he has engaged since 2010.He has special love for counseling and assisting wounded veterans, no matter their religious affiliation, or disconnection from denominational practice, especially at various VA facilities and health care centers in both Mississippi and into Louisiana. Rev. Scott also has assisted the needs of veterans caught up in the prison system, where invited, to provide counseling and spiritual direction. Some partial proceeds of his book trilogy will be utilized to assist veterans struggling with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and to support The God Understands outreach project in curtailing and preventing the increasing problem of veteran suicides.
