Richard L. Lauby received his B.A. in Philosophy and Theology from Southern Nazarene University. His master’s degree is from Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, California. He began a multi-faceted ministry in Kansas City Youth for Christ and developed both promotional as well as spiritual growth material. His years there included writing, radio, television, and counselling. From 1974 until 2016, he pastored and planted churches in many locations around the United States. He continues to preach and write both in the U.S. and overseas, with recent years a focus upon ministry in Cuba. His writing has spanned decades, but now focuses upon the experience and reality of restoration, both in the physical world and most importantly within the lives of individual men and women. Richard lives with his wife, Donna, in Punta Gorda, Florida. He has two children, seven grandchildren, and two great grandchildren.
