Ellie Lofaro is a respected Bible teacher, author, inspirational speaker, and humorist. Completely convinced of God’s love and His mandate to “go and tell,” Ellie has committed her life to sharing the "Great News." Ellie’s message is a wonderful blend of plainspoken truth, common sense practicality, and disarming humor. A serious student of Scripture and a keen observer of the culture, she has developed a unique teaching style that touches the heart, stimulates the mind, and nourishes the soul — thus inspiring her to establish Heart Mind & Soul Ministries.
Ellie is the author of five books and is published in many compilations as well as Christian magazines. Book titles: Leap of Faith, From Battle Scars to Beauty Marks; Spaghetti for the Soul (co-authored); Slices of Life; and Bonding with the Blonde Women.
She speaks internationally and has shared the love of Jesus Christ in conferences, churches, and prisons throughout the world. She has been honored by Focus on the Family twice as “The Best of the Best” in their year-end compilations.
Ellie and her husband Frank (former CEO of Prison Fellowship International and Christian Leadership Alliance) are native New Yorkers. They reside near the nation's capital, where they raised three strong-willed children who turned into very likable adults. They are Lala and Papa to four handsome and brilliant grandsons and a new precious baby girl. Ellie enjoys travel, any large mass of water, photography, good food, and being around a dinner table for a long time.
