Biography
Anita Lustrea
Anita (Lustrea) Murphy is on a mission to communicate freedom to women. She does it through the avenues of speaking, writing, and art. Anita has worked for Moody Radio for 26 years, the last 11 hosting "Midday Connection," a radio talk show for women, where she gets to teach, learn and grow along with the rest of the Midday community from across the country. Anita released her first book in 2010, WHAT WOMEN TELL ME: Finding Freedom From the Secrets We Keep (Zondervan). It is her personal story woven in with the stories of women she's heard from through her years hosting "Midday Connection." Anita has been the general editor and writer on three other projects, DAILY SEEDS FROM WOMEN WHO WALK IN FAITH, COME TO OUR TABLE and TENDING THE SOUL (Moody Publishers). Anita is wife to Mike Murphy, a Pastor at Christ Church of Oak Brook, and Director of Spiritual Transformation at Breakthrough Urban Ministries on the west side of Chicago. Mike makes Anita laugh and is the anchor in her life. Her son John is one of the brightest spots in her world. He's heading to college to study history. Anita is originally from Maine, the most beautiful state in the union according to her! If she can't be in Maine, her second choice is Chicago. Reading, writing, bird watching, and drinking hot tea are some of her favorite pastimes.
