Anthony DeStefano: podcast appearances and interviews

Anthony DeStefano, born in September 1965, is an American author known for writing Christian books for both adults and children. His inaugural publication, A Travel Guide to Heaven, achieved international reach, being published in 18 countries. He followed this with Ten Prayers God Always Says Yes To, a book that received an endorsement from the National Day of Prayer Task Force. DeStefano's writings often aim to reflect core Christian beliefs, and he attempts to adhere to principles shared across Christian denominations, including Catholic and evangelical perspectives. Writing in World magazine, Gene Edward Veith noted that DeStefano is a Roman Catholic but strives to focus on universally affirmed Christian themes. Regarding his children's literature, Maura Grunlund of the Staten Island Advance highlighted recurring themes of characters overcoming weakness to find strength, exemplified in his book Little Star. In 2015, DeStefano hosted a five-part miniseries titled A Travel Guide to Heaven on EWTN, based on his book of the same name.
