Laura Bedingfeld works as an editor in the field of Christian spirituality and theology, collaborating with well-known publishers like Catholic Answers, Sophia Institute Press, and Magnificat, as well as with individual authors and religious communities. Prior to this, she embraced a consecrated life of contemplative prayer and service for twenty-two years. From that hidden life of daily prayer and listening to God’s word emerged her first works of biblical theology and spirituality. She shares them in the hope that the Word of life might fall on “good soil” in many hearts and bear fruit a hundredfold (Mt. 13:8).
