Elise Seyfried

Elise Seyfried is a writer, spiritual formation director at a Philadelphia-area Lutheran church, actress, and mom of five children. Elise is the author of three books of humorous spiritual essays: Unhaling: On God, Grace and a Perfectly Imperfect Life, Underway: Reflections on Everyday Grace, and Everyday Matters.

Her work has also appeared in such diverse places as The Philadelphia Inquirer; Metropolis; The Lutheran Digest; Guideposts Magazine; Simul: Lutheran Voices in Poetry; The Word in Season and the Wittenburg Door.
