Today we’re joined by Bento Leal, a relationship skills trainer and author. Bento’s book, 4 Essential Keys to Effective Communication in Love, Life, Work—Anywhere! is an Amazon bestseller in several categories and has sold more than 140,000 copies. He has taught communication skills to hundreds of couples and singles over the past 18 years in churches, family resource centers, county jails, and federal prisons.
After being raised in a Catholic family, and then becoming agnostic during college, he was introduced to the Unification Church in Oakland, CA by a childhood friend. What he heard in the Divine Principle changed his life. He found an explanation of God and God’s Will that finally made sense. Since joining the Unification Church in 1973, Bento has had many church missions, including attending the Unification Theological Seminary and being state director in several states. He and his wife remain very active in their local church today.
