InterVarsity Press is pleased to announce that Lori Neff, former host and producer for Moody Radio's Midday Connection, has joined its marketing team as the new IVP Books marketing manager.

"My interaction with authors and titles through Midday Connection serves as a helpful backdrop to this work," Neff said. "I'm thrilled to join the IVP team. I've been a longtime fan and avid reader of IVP titles, which have played a significant role in my spiritual growth. I'm so grateful to be connected with this excellent brand, offering high quality, thoughtful resources to readers."

Neff spent eighteen years in radio broadcasting and is a trained spiritual director. She is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute (BA in Communications) and has earned a diploma in biblical counseling (Light University), a certificate in spiritual direction (Christos Center for Spiritual Formation), and a certificate in Enneagram training (Jerry Wagner, Enneagram Spectrum). Neff is also a member of the Evangelical Spiritual Directors Association and Spiritual Directors International. Neff continues to use her broadcast experience as the host of Everyday Prayer, a podcast that can be heard on her website, lorineff.com.

"Lori embodies the collaborative and innovative spirit that is part of the DNA at InterVarsity Press," said Lorraine Caulton, senior marketing manager at IVP. "Her creative flair and can-do attitude will strike a positive chord with authors. We're excited to begin the work of introducing her to the authors as the marketing manager for the IVP Books line."
