Kevin’s memoir, From Playboy to Prodigal Son, was purchased Viident Publishing, in association with Dynamic Catholic. In PLAYBOY TO PRODIGAL SON, Kevin shares how he went from working at Playboy magazine’s final heydays to a life transformed by the power of faith in Jesus Christ. After encountering the Holy Spirit, Kevin left Playboy to help start the now global nonprofit Watts of Love that distributes life-changing solar lights to people living in extreme poverty. From parties at the Playboy Mansion to serving in a leper colony, this sinner-to-son memoir explores the power of divine intervention and redemption.
