$\"green$ <\/a>Ellen Debenport<\/strong> is an author, speaker and minister who helps people find a spiritual path through life\u2019s difficulties and transitions.<\/p>\n

With clarity and humor, she writes and speaks directly to those of us who are spiritual but not religious, finding our own way to inner awareness and putting spiritual principles into practice.<\/p>\n

Her most recent book, Hell in the Hallway, Light at the Door<\/em>, is about the spiritual path through change and transition. An earlier book, The Five Principles<\/em>, is a guide to practical spirituality.<\/p>\n

A natural writer, Ellen had a long career in journalism before she began to focus full time on spirituality. She was a reporter for United Press International and political editor for the Tampa Bay Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

She was posted in Washington, D.C., when she began to feel a call to deeper spiritual exploration and left Capitol Hill for seminary. Ellen was ordained in 1999 and currently serves as the minister at Unity of Wimberley, in the Texas Hill Country outside Austin.<\/p>\n
