Biography
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 books When Dreams Come True and When God Writes Your Love Story. 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 and Eric wrote 11 books. It was in this prolific season that she 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 young Christian women.{{cite web|url=http://www.cheohome.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Itemid=208|title=CHEO 2012 Convention: 28th Annual Convention|date=June 21, 2012|work=Christian Home Educators of Ohio|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120510211447/http://www.cheohome.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=132&Itemid=208|access-date=January 12, 2013|archive-date=2012-05-10}}{{cite web|url=http://www.covenanteyes.com/2010/10/22/set-apart-for-purity-interview-with-eric-and-leslie-ludy|title=Set Apart for Purity: Interview with Eric and Leslie Ludy|date=October 22, 2010|work=Covenant Eyes Radio|last=Gilkerson|first=Luke|access-date=January 12, 2013}}{{cite news |last1=Oliver |first1=James |title=Relationship quiz |url=https://quizow.com/relationships/do-i-have-a-crush-quiz/ |access-date=26 August 2023 |publisher=Affection quiz}} 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. Paula Friedrichsen of the Christian Broadcasting Network said in a review of Set-Apart Femininity, "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."{{cite web|url=http://blogs.cbn.com/books/archive/2008/09/15/book-review-set-apart-femininity-by-leslie-ludy.aspx|title=Book Review: Set-Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy|date=August 2008|work=Christian Broadcasting Network|last=Friedrichsen|first=Paula|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304031157/http://blogs.cbn.com/books/archive/2008/09/15/book-review-set-apart-femininity-by-leslie-ludy.aspx|access-date=January 12, 2013|archive-date=2016-03-04}}
