About Elie

I have always had a deep love for the Bible and a passion for sharing God’s Word in creative and meaningful ways. Since publishing my first word search puzzle book in 2012, my mission has been to help both children and adults engage with Scripture in a fun, thoughtful, and faith-building way.

Through my “Read the Bible, One Puzzle at a Time” series, I’ve created non-denominational word search books that follow the biblical narrative, beginning with the books of Genesis, Exodus, Matthew, and Mark. Designed for both adults and teens, these large-print puzzles are drawn from 11 different Bible translations, making them accessible and welcoming to Christians of all backgrounds. The series offers a calming, mentally engaging way to explore Scripture, encouraging daily reflection, spiritual growth, and time in God’s Word.

I’ve also developed a Children’s Series, using the NRSV translation, which includes fun and age-appropriate word search puzzles along with coloring pages to help young readers connect with the Bible in a creative and meaningful way.

For my Catholic readers, the Guided by Grace series offers large-print word search books featuring prayers and Scripture from the New American Bible. These books are perfect for personal devotion or as thoughtful gifts, inviting readers to reflect on the timeless truths of the Catholic faith while enjoying the peaceful rhythm of a puzzle.

I’m also excited to introduce a new devotional series called Hearts Still Growing, beginning with the Senior Edition: 100 Devotions and Stories to Reflect, Renew, and Find Strength in God’s Love, and soon followed by the Teenage Edition. This series is designed to nourish the heart and spirit with uplifting stories, scripture, and encouragement for every season of life.

In addition to my other series, I also created the Lectionary for Mass Bible Word Search Puzzle Books, which follow the liturgical readings for Sunday Masses and Holy Days of Obligation for Liturgical Years A, B, and C. These books — along with the Student Versions, available from 2013 through 2017 — were officially endorsed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). Each puzzle book includes the First Reading, Second Reading, and the Gospel, helping readers engage more deeply with the structure and message of the Mass. These editions are a wonderful tool for spiritual enrichment, classroom use, and personal devotion, offering a reflective and interactive way to connect with the liturgical calendar.

In 2015, I partnered with King Features Weekly Service Syndicate, making it possible for my Bible-based word search puzzles to appear in newspapers across the United States — helping me reach even more hearts for the Lord.

Whether you’re solving a puzzle, reading a devotion, or just looking for a peaceful moment in your day, my hope is that my books bring you closer to God. May they help you grow spiritually, renew your mind, and serve the Lord with joy — one puzzle at a time.
