Phillip Cimei

Phillip Cimei was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1949. He grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and attended Wheaton Central High School in Wheaton, Illinois. He is an award-winning author.

His wit and creativity, coupled with his passion for his Christian faith, are the spices that flavor his work. Cimei is FaithWriters 2017 Page Turner winner for non-fiction. He is a regular writer at FaithWriters with a membership of over 71,000, they are the #1 site for Christian

writers. He has over sixty published short stories, and over half are award winners. Many of these stories are used to drive home scriptural points. They also reflect his diverse experiences throughout his search for the perfect religion.

His resumé of experiences includes being fifty years married to whom he refers to as his guardian angel, seven children, thirty-seven years as an ordained evangelist, a retired principal, and twenty-three job experiences ranging from grocery store sacker to pest control serviceman to child welfare specialist III. His potpourri of experiences helps create a down-to-earth atmosphere for the reader. Everyone from the poorest to the richest and from a sinner to a saint can relate to his captivating strokes of the pen. Every stop along his trek is a new piece of the puzzle. Every adventure is closer to treasure.

From living at Rattlesnake Crossing to visiting a religious community in the foothills of Pennsylvania, Cimei has pulled up his tent over fifty times in search of the perfect relationship with his Lord. He uses that gypsy life experience to keep his readers searching the Scriptures for the answer to the question, “What is the perfect religion, the perfect relationship with God?”.
