Keith Lilek is an award-winning Catholic author of six books and two music albums.

Through his books Mentored for Good and Champion Mentors, Keith emphasizes the joy and transformative nature of being a ‘LIFETIME MENTEE.’ While the focus often lies on the mentor’s role, Keith highlights the immense value of seeking guidance through active listening and learning and the satisfaction that comes from being a mentee.

“Are you satisfied with the person you have become? I am, but I didn’t get here by myself. I have been the beneficiary of many God-inspired mentors throughout my life. Their insights and support have played a crucial role in shaping who I am today. Can you recall those who have uplifted you during pivotal moments? Who motivated you to make significant changes? I can. I remember them all, and I wish to share how their mentorship and MY eagerness to learn have transformed my life.”

Keith was just honored with a 2024 BIBA Award (Best Independent Book Award) for Christian Inspiration for his book, The Sonnets of Laina’s Life.

His current project is a musical collaboration with his daughter. Heather Christine…All Sides of Me which promises to be an enchanting, spiritual song album to be released in early 2025.

Keith is well known in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas for his vocation support and involvement in many men’s groups. You can learn more about Keith at his author’s website below.
