Sheila R. Vitale is the Spiritual Leader, Founding Teacher and Pastor of Living Epistles Ministries (LEM). She is an illustrator of spiritual principles, researcher, translator, social commentator, lecturer, movie, TV and theater critic, and author. Pastor Vitale was born into a Jewish family, and began her spiritual journey as a young student in an Orthodox Hebrew school, where she experienced the Spirit of God for the first time. This experience stirred up a deep longing for God within her. She founded Living Epistles Ministries in 1988, and began teaching her own brand of Judeo-Christian Spiritual Philosophy that she calls The Doctrine of Christ, under the heavy hand of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pastor Vitale's signature work is the three volumes of The Alternate Translation Bible: The Alternate Translation Of The Old Testament, The Alternate Translation of the New Testament and The Alternate Translation of the Book of Revelation. She has authored more than 43 books based upon the Old and New Testaments, as well as unique and esoteric translations of the Scripture. The LEM official website has a wide range of free educational materials, as well as free video lectures from the LEM YouTube channel. She has dedicated her life to studying and teaching Judeo-Christian spiritual principles, and continues to focus daily on studying, teaching and writing. In her spare time, Pastor Vitale enjoys watching movies, attending plays and partaking of cuisines from different cultures. She currently resides in Port Jefferson Station, NY.
