SHELLEY LEITH


Co-Author of Character Makeover & FamilyLife Speaker

Shelley Leith is staff writer at Saddleback Church, and co-author of Character Makeover: 40 Days With a Life Coach to Create the Best You with Katie Brazelton. Her humor-laced messages arise from her experiences as a formerly-reluctant mother of five (in six years), her proactive approach to parenting and character development, her 30-year marriage as a first-born married to an only child, and her quirky methods of propping up her self-esteem.

“Combining her sensational humor and real life experiences, Shelley challenges you to discover new ways to implement time tested principles.”
-Gayle Sahlin, Saddleback Church

“After hearing what a dented refrigerator has to do with raising kids, you know Shelley is not your stereotypical mom – she didn’t think she ever wanted children. But, she successfully raised her kids by being the kind of mom God made her to be.”
-June Black, Abbotsford

“Shelley's got it all…witty, comical and engaging and yet still so relevant, practical and anchored in truth. A great wife and mother, she can coach men and women alike on a solid plan for marriage and the family. She and Greg have been one of our most impacting speaking couples with FamilyLife for over ten years.”
