She has been an editor for this magazine for over sixty years.
Over her long career, Elizabeth has authored over thirty books, many of them with her husband, John. These books are translated into over forty languages and are read around the world. Other titles include "The Cross and the Switchblade," "God's Smuggler," "They Speak with Other Tongues," and "Return from Tomorrow." Her autobiography is entitled "Surprised by Grace," where, after ghostwriting many biographies for others, Elizabeth tells of her own life.
