Randy Pilz

Randy is the father of five wonderful children and proud grandfather of nine precious grandchildren. Born and raised in Chicagoland, Randy trusted in Jesus Christ as his Savior through a community Bible study during his junior year in high school (the character Joe Anderson's testimony in the novel A BATTLE MORE DESPERATE is partly based on Randy's real testimony). After salvation, the Lord led him to Bob Jones University, where he studied Bible, Speech and Drama. Called to Christian service, Randy served “three tours of duty” as a Christian school teacher in Wisconsin and Alabama. He later became drama director at Falls Baptist Church in Menomonee Falls, Wis. Through that ministry he began writing plays and programs as tools for local church evangelism. For eleven years, Randy served as a Creative Director/Video Producer on the staff at Pensacola Christian College, producing promotional and educational videos and assisting in the production of the Rejoice in the Lord telecast. He later worked as an independent producer in a non-profit media ministry. Randy is now novelizing dramas he previously wrote. Six of these have been self-published through Amazon. These are: A BATTLE MORE DESPERATE, SHI'MON'S JOURNEY, THE PASSING AWAY OF CHEPHAS STEELE, DAVID YOUNGMAN, MARY'S STORY, and WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM.
