Leslie Ludy (born December 16, 1975) is a bestselling Christian author, internationally recognized speaker and executive director of Set Apart Girl (stylized setapartgirl), an online Christian magazine for young women. She is also a founding director of Ellerslie Mission Society, which trains Christian missionaries and advocates on behalf of orphaned and vulnerable children. Her bestselling books include When God Writes Your Love Story, Authentic Beauty, and Set-Apart Femininity.
Since the mid-nineties, Ludy has been a speaker at hundreds of conferences, colleges, and events, as well as a guest on many well-known media venues. Ludy is the author of fifteen books, ten of which were co-authored by her husband, Eric Ludy. The Ludy's books have sold well over a million copies in the United States, have been translated into over a dozen languages, and circulated widely throughout the world. Eric and Leslie Ludy live in Windsor, Colorado, along with their six children.
Leslie married her husband, Eric Ludy, in December 1994 in Denver, Colorado. Their story garnered much attention from the Christian community and was detailed in their popular books When Dreams Come True and When God Writes Your Love Story, the latter of which spent 18 months on the Christian bestsellers list and remains one of the top selling Christian relationship books ever written. Leslie Ludy's first book was published when she was 19 years old. From that point forward Ludy began traveling the world, speaking to various Christians on the principles of the Christian life.
Over a three-year period from 2005 to 2008, Ludy, along with her husband, Eric, wrote 11 books. It was in this prolific season that Ludy fine-tuned her articulation of what she terms "set-apart femininity". She serves as the executive director of Set-Apart Girl, an organization that provides books, resources, conferences, and training for Christian young women. Her book, Set-Apart Femininity, published by Harvest House, garnered much acclaim and was a finalist for the Retailer’s Choice Award in 2009, in the Women’s Non-Fiction category. Upon reviewing Set-Apart Femininity, Paula Friedrichsen of the Christian Broadcasting Network said, "Leslie Ludy is a fresh voice in an age of compromise, and a passionate leader of young women everywhere. This book will appeal to those who believe that the lines have become blurred between the church and the world — and would be perfect for a discussion group or book club."
