Dr. Lonnie E. Riley

Dr. Riley has been in ministry nearly 40 years. He is actively sharing his insights through his books. He has written 9 since his stroke in 2004 with many more in the works. He is also a very proficient musician. Along with song writing, he plays many instruments and has recorded 5 different projects.

Having merged his last church plant with another one, he now lives in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina with his wife Kimberly (who also co-wrote a couples devotional with him) and their dog, Spartacus. They have 3 grown sons (Jason, Joshua and Randall) and three daughters-in-law (Another Kymberly, Allison, and Nikita), one grandson (Callan) and a granddaughter due Spring of 2019.

Dr. Riley enjoys the coast and finds peace and relaxation on its shores, as well as inspiration for his writing. He has been known to take his voice recorder to the beach early in the morning and dictate as he watches the sun rise to a new day. Fishing and crabbing are activities he enjoy when his health is well.

He and Kimberly are also available for speaking and singing engagements as well as seminars and book signings. All proceeds from book sales and other engagements go directly to providing books to pastors and others who don't have the financial means to purchase them.
