Anthony DeStefano

Anthony DeStefano is the bestselling author of 30 Christian books for adults and children.  His books have been published in eighteen different countries and twelve different languages and have been endorsed by The National Day of Prayer committee as well as many prominent religious leaders and mainstream celebrities, including Tony Robbins, Kathie Lee Gifford, Regis Philbin, Quincy Jones, Delilah, Eric Metaxas, Pat Boone, Dr. James Dobson, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, William Bennett, and Bernice King—daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Anthony has appeared on the CNN, Fox and Friends, Martha MacCallum, the 700 Club, Huckabee, and hundreds of other national and local media shows. He has also been the host of two television series on Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), as well as a frequent guest on that network. Anthony is an avid pilot, and a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, the oldest Order in the Catholic Church. Most of his books, however, are written for all Christians. A native New Yorker, Anthony attended Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, where his English teacher, Pulitzer Prize winner Frank McCourt (Angela’s Ashes), sparked his interest to become a children’s books author. In fact, Anthony wrote his first picture book—Little Star—as an assignment for one of McCourt’s writing classes. Three decades later it was finally published and became a bestseller. Anthony is an avid pilot and lives in New Jersey with his wife, Jordan.
